This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 04LM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516172 Occlusion of right popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that displays a significant disconnect between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular surgical interventions or endoscopic procedures. Instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect medical administration, benefits planning, and clinical staffing — not the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, city health benefit administrators, state departments of transportation, and county probation departments, indicating broad multiagency engagement with healthcare contracting across administrative and clinical domains.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with isolated solicitations in Florida and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, on behalf of the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board, posted RTMRFP26001 seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a contract value of $750,000 over five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's procedural name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing work in the stated surgical specialty.
