UNSPSC 85516070: Reposition right femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right femoral artery, 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 04SK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516070 Reposition right femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, does not map to actual procurement activity in the code's nominal scope. The posted opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical services contracting across independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient hospital services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal procurement departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation and health systems, and regional health systems. This appears to be a miscoding issue rather than a market signal; the code's clinical procedure specificity does not align with the administrative and operational healthcare services being solicited.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant recent opportunities. The opportunities posted do reflect healthcare service procurement across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the work being solicited — benefit administration, staffing, surveillance, and claims management — falls outside the vascular surgical domain the code nominates. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify taxonomic alignment with issuing bodies before investing in proposal preparation, as the current posting pattern suggests systematic miscoding rather than genuine demand for the procedure category.
