UNSPSC 85516157: Occlusion of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 04LS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516157 Occlusion of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific vascular surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the six recent opportunities solicited by state and local issuing bodies, which collectively request disability medical evaluation services, health plan carve-out program administration, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the posting systems or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to describe the work they are actually buying.

No concrete procurement activity under this code's nominal scope—vascular occlusion procedures or related interventional medical services—appears in the recent opportunities block. State and local governments do purchase clinical services, but the examples tagged to this code span administrative health plan management, staffing, and occupational medicine rather than inpatient surgical procedures. Bidders evaluating activity under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before investing in proposal development, as the current tagging does not reflect active demand for the service the code nominally describes.
