UNSPSC 85516109: Replacement of left posterior tibial artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left posterior tibial artery with autologous 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 04RS47Z

UNSPSC 85516109 Replacement of left posterior tibial artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local procurement opportunities actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve arterial replacement procedures or the specialized vascular surgery the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a tagging artifact that renders the code unreliable as a procurement signal for vendors positioned to deliver vascular surgical services.

The issuing bodies posting under the code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no pattern of repeat buyers in arterial-intervention procedures. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic exams across 14 ferry terminals, and the Santa Clara County Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a multi-category qualified vendor pool. Vendors with capabilities in arterial reconstruction should not rely on this code for procurement opportunity discovery and should monitor vascular surgery or reconstructive surgery codes instead.
