UNSPSC 85516149: Release left femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left femoral 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 04NL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516149 Release left femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical services for youth detention, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the percutaneous endoscopic release of a left femoral artery or related vascular surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement database or that this code captures administrative and contracting services tangentially related to healthcare delivery rather than the surgical procedure its name indicates.

The most recent opportunities reflect a broader procurement landscape around healthcare benefit administration and occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at ferry operations across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits for employees in its Anthem Blue Cross plan (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County Board of Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a Request for Information for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Activity spans state departments, counties, and large municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent wave concentrated in July through October 2026. The code as currently tagged does not represent actionable procurement for vascular surgical services in the state and local market.
