UNSPSC 85516119: Replacement of left popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left popliteal 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 04RN4KZ

UNSPSC 85516119 Replacement of left popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification taxonomy entry, but recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgical procedures. Instead, the code tags a scattered set of health services solicitations spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical networks—none of which involve arterial replacement or endoscopic vascular intervention. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error or systematic miscoding by issuing jurisdictions, making the code unreliable as a signal for vascular surgery supply or service opportunities.

Issuing bodies over the past three months include a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal benefits administrator (City of Long Beach), and a county health system (Santa Clara Health System). No clear repeat patterns or standout buyer concentration emerge across the handful of opportunities. The geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California, with no dominant region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, and the Santa Clara County Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code does not appear to be driving material procurement activity in its nominal scope; business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC classification before allocating pursuit resources.
