UNSPSC 85516121: Replacement of left popliteal 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 popliteal 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 04RN47Z

UNSPSC 85516121, Replacement of left popliteal artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that maps to procurement activity bearing no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the specific intervention the code describes. The mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic classification error in the source records or deliberate use of a surgical procedure code as a proxy identifier for broader healthcare services purchasing. This code shows no recent state and local solicitations for the vascular intervention it nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating multi-state activity. However, the absence of actual vascular surgical procurement under this code makes geographic concentration irrelevant to business development. Interested firms should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for occupational health services, medical staffing, benefits administration, and related categories before pursuing opportunities currently misfiled under 85516121.
