UNSPSC 85516111: Replacement of right posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right posterior tibial 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 04RR4JZ

UNSPSC 85516111 Replacement of right posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular surgical procedures or the clinical intervention the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities soliciting under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transit workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve replacement of posterior tibial arteries or percutaneous endoscopic vascular interventions.

The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure scope and the actual work being purchased suggests a tagging error at the posting jurisdictions or a systematic misalignment in how this code is being applied by state and local procurement offices. The issuing bodies purchasing under this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities procuring employee benefits services (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), and specialized health authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without opportunities that actually align to the code's stated clinical scope, the code presents no clear procurement signal for vascular surgery vendors or related service providers.
