UNSPSC 85516122: Replacement of right 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 right 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 04RM4KZ

UNSPSC 85516122 Replacement of right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows material mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and disability medical evaluation services — none of which involve vascular replacement surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag administrative, preventive, and support health services rather than the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names. The issuing bodies span a diverse set of jurisdictions: city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County).

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance of ferry workers across 14 state locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services supporting approximately 2,400 enrolled county employees (RFP 25-8414, with historical spend of $8.7 million annually). The code shows no recent activity that aligns with its stated procedure classification and should be treated as a tagging anomaly in state and local procurement systems rather than an active market segment for vascular surgical services.
