This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left popliteal artery with synthetic 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 04UN4JZ

UNSPSC 85516050 Supplement left popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local contract activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited. The code's nominal scope describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code document medical services procurement unrelated to arterial supplementation or endoscopic vascular intervention — including independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employees, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. These solicitations span occupational health screening, administrative medical record review, network-based surgical referral arrangements, and general clinical staffing — none of which involves the procedural intervention the code nominally names. State and local procurement systems appear to have misclassified these opportunities or applied the code incorrectly to broader health services categories.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical disciplines (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent state and local activity consistent with vascular arterial supplementation procurement.
