UNSPSC 85516053: Supplement right popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right 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 04UM4JZ

UNSPSC 85516053 Supplement right popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical descriptor. The opportunities instead reflect procurement of medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve vascular surgery or arterial supplementation. This mismatch signals that the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to opportunities in the state and local space, and state and local governments are not actively soliciting for the procedure itself under this code.

Recent activity appears scattered across four issuing bodies in three states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services on September 16, 2026 with an October 16 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers on August 25, 2026 with an October 9 deadline; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth on August 24, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted a qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing on July 7, 2026. The code shows no meaningful recent purchasing activity aligned with its stated clinical scope, and pursuing opportunities under this code requires clarity from the issuing body on whether the UNSPSC tagging reflects a data-entry error or an intentional classification choice.
