UNSPSC 85516123: Replacement of right popliteal 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 popliteal 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 04RM4JZ

UNSPSC 85516123 Replacement of right popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity, does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code. The six most recent opportunities solicited under this UNSPSC code span independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this code is used by state and local procurement offices in ways that diverge significantly from its nominal clinical scope.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal and county human resources and benefits functions (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of Commissioners), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out networks covering orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 plan members (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no clear relation to the opportunities posted under it, pursuing activity under this code warrants direct clarification with issuing bodies on their actual procurement intent rather than reliance on the UNSPSC classification alone.
