UNSPSC 85516174: Occlusion of right popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right popliteal artery with extraluminal 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 04LM4CZ

UNSPSC 85516174 Occlusion of right popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-device-specific description does not align with any of the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy entry. The six recent solicitations in the block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve occlusion devices or percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state or local source system or extremely limited use of this code in government procurement.

State and local health plans and public employers do not appear to be purchasing implantable vascular devices or interventional cardiology procedures as standalone line items through competitive procurement. When vascular interventions are needed, they are typically arranged through existing hospital credentialing, employer health plans, or emergency-response networks rather than solicited as discrete medical devices or procedures. Vendors in this device space should verify that the code assignment is accurate in any target jurisdiction's procurement system before investing in market development under UNSPSC 85516174.
