UNSPSC 85516144: Release right posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right posterior tibial artery, 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 04NR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516144 Release right posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — a specific vascular intervention requiring operative expertise — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span jail and prison medical services contracting, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic or vascular surgical procedures or the clinical interventions the code describes. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying behavior is substantial.

State and local issuers posting opportunities tagged to this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Recent solicitations are concentrated in Florida and California, with isolated activity in Georgia and California. Representative opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison RFP (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026) covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members at approximately $8.7 million annually, and Monroe County's Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services RFP (due April 16, 2026) for 2,300 county members. The code's apparent misapplication to health administration and primary-care contracting suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error upstream. Firms evaluating this code should validate tagging accuracy against actual procurement needs before committing pursuit resources.
