This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85516164 Occlusion of left anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name—a specific vascular surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These opportunities span healthcare administration, employee benefit management, occupational health compliance, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve vascular occlusion procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The code shows a significant tagging mismatch within state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026; $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026; pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (response due October 7, 2026; target go-live April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026; non-exclusive qualified-list vehicle with five-year potential duration). The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to healthcare procurement opportunities that fall outside its stated clinical scope.
