UNSPSC 85516200: Principal arteries lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the lower extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85516200 Principal arteries lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C (Class) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a clinical procedure for treating lower-extremity arterial disease via minimally invasive endoscopic methods—does not align with the opportunities the source identifies under this code. Recent solicitations posted to this code include inmate healthcare delivery for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—none of which involve the procedural service the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities present spans Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with no pattern suggesting a concentrated market. Issuing bodies are county governments and local health systems rather than state departments or school districts. No recent solicitations directly procure the vascular procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the health-services contracting actually appearing under it suggests either miscoding at source or that this code is not a functional vehicle for state and local procurement of the service it nominally covers.
