UNSPSC 85516170: Occlusion of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, 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 04LN4DZ

UNSPSC 85516170 Occlusion of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a specific clinical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to that scope. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefits carve-out administration for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these activities involve vascular procedures, intraluminal devices, or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of state and local health services procurement, suggesting either administrative classification error or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies tag healthcare services contracts. State and local buyers using this code include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services under RFP20260825 with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026, requiring examinations across 14 Washington locations. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out services, due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of work being procured, this code should be treated as presenting minimal signal for vendors in vascular intervention, device supply, or procedural support—the code's nominal scope does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
