UNSPSC 85516205: Insertion of intraluminal device into left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left posterior tibial 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 04HS4DZ

UNSPSC 85516205 Insertion of intraluminal device into left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedural intervention (endovascular stent placement), yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve insertion of intraluminal devices or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code classification appears to be a mismatch or data error rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers.

The recent solicitation sources include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure Centers of Excellence management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and other local health and human services agencies across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. None of these opportunities require the specific procedural capability the code names. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their target service line before pursuing state and local contracts tagged under 85516205.
