UNSPSC 85516146: Release right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right anterior 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 04NP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516146 Release right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little substantive alignment with vascular surgery work. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — a range of health system administration and general medical services with no vascular or interventional surgery component. The code appears to be a misclassification vehicle or a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not map cleanly to the procedural taxonomy it nominally represents.

The issuing bodies span county commissioners (Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transit and transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited, vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
