UNSPSC 85516037: Supplement left posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 04US4KZ

UNSPSC 85516037 Supplement left posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure coding and healthcare procurement, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows little alignment with the code's surgical-procedure specificity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code actually span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit program administration—none of which directly involve tibial artery supplementation or related vascular surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems, county health departments, state transportation agencies, and health care consortiums across multiple states; the work being solicited is primarily administrative, staffing, and benefit-management services rather than the medical devices, implants, or surgical procedures the code nominally describes.

Activity under this code shows geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington over the past three months, though the mismatch between the code's vascular-surgical scope and the actual opportunities posted raises questions about tagging accuracy in state and local procurement systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members (due April 9, 2026). The code shows minimal if any recent procurement activity directly related to tibial artery supplementation, vascular grafts, or endoscopic surgical supplies at the state and local level.
