This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left popliteal 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 04NN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516147 Release left popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect relevant state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it are unrelated to the code's scope: they cover inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical directorship. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, percutaneous endoscopic procedures, or the release of the popliteal artery. The code appears to have been incorrectly assigned to these opportunities, and no state or local jurisdiction is actively procuring under the code's intended scope based on the available recent records.

The mismatch between code definition and procurement activity makes this code unreliable for business development targeting. State and local agencies do solicit healthcare and emergency medical services — the opportunities shown involve county corrections health systems, employee health benefits, virtual care platforms, and municipal fire department medical oversight — but those activities fall under different UNSPSC classifications related to health management services, employee benefits administration, or emergency services contracting rather than surgical procedures. If pursuing healthcare-related state and local work, verify the correct UNSPSC family or class code with the issuing jurisdiction before responding to an RFP.
