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 04QM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516138 Repair right popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a material misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical taxonomy—describing a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not map to the healthcare services actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect procurement for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support worker programs, and fire department medical director positions—none of which involve vascular repair procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions.

The source documents no recent opportunities with genuine relevance to the code's stated clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state or local procurement system that assigned this code, or that the code may be used as a catch-all category in ways that diverge substantially from its intended medical-procedure meaning. Without opportunities reflecting actual surgical services, specialty hospital care, interventional radiology, or vascular repair contracting under this code, business development professionals should treat this as a largely inactive or misclassified Commodity code and prioritize attention to broader healthcare services codes (such as those covering medical staffing, pharmacy administration, or healthcare facility management) where recent activity and clear market demand are evident.
