UNSPSC 85516055: Supplement left femoral 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 femoral 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 04UL4KZ

UNSPSC 85516055 Supplement left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve the procurement of implants, devices, or surgical supplies aligned with vascular supplementation. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the supply or procurement of femoral artery grafts or tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests either miscoding at the issuing agencies or a code designation that does not reflect current procurement practice under this taxonomy.

State and local issuers posting under this code include county retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara), and regional health authorities. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic cluster indicating sustained vascular-device procurement activity. Without evidence that state and local governments are actively soliciting or contracting for femoral artery supplements or related tissue substitutes under this code, the procurement activity does not support business development focus at this tier.
