UNSPSC 85516206: Insertion of infusion 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 infusion 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 04HS43Z

UNSPSC 85516206 Insertion of infusion device into left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific invasive medical procedure—placement of an infusion catheter into the tibial artery using endoscopic technique—yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, Center of Excellence surgical carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern percutaneous tibial artery infusion-device placement or any comparable surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the broad healthcare administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either a systemic classification error or that this code has been applied inconsistently across issuing bodies.

The recent activity spans multiple state and local jurisdictions and issuing body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for public safety personnel), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferries workforce), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. None of the opportunities reflect procurement aligned with the code's stated procedural scope, making this code unreliable as a signal for targeting relevant state and local healthcare service or supply opportunities.
