UNSPSC 85516140 Repair right femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the actual work being solicited under this tag in state and local government.

The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect substantial divergence from the code's clinical specification. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management services for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve the procurement of repair services for femoral artery pathology or any specific surgical procedure. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all or administrative tag for health-services-related procurement rather than as a designation aligned with its clinical definition. State and local governments do not purchase individual surgical procedures through public procurement — they contract for health plan administration, staffing, benefit management, occupational health programs, and facility-based medical services. Entities pursuing work under this code should recognize the mismatch and search for opportunities under health-services administration, benefit management, occupational health, or staffing codes where actual procurement activity aligns with the solicitations being issued.
