This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85516052 Supplement right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that designates a specific surgical procedure for vascular repair. The code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with vascular surgical intervention or implantable device procurement. State and local governments do not typically issue standalone RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs for individual procedural codes or medical device implants under this UNSPSC designation.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not a primary procurement vehicle for state and local health systems and agencies. Pursuit of business under this code is not advisable without first confirming with specific issuing bodies — county health systems, municipal hospitals, state health departments, or regional medical authorities — whether they use this code tier for device procurement at all. If vascular implants and related supplies are being procured, they are likely tagged at higher family or class levels or under a different commodity taxonomy altogether.
