UNSPSC 85516226: Extirpation of matter from right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right anterior 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 04CP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516226 Extirpation of matter from right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, maps poorly to actual procurement patterns. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the health and disability benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services that state and local bodies are actually acquiring in the recent opportunities block. State and local governments appear to tag health-related services and procurement broadly under medical procedure codes, but the code shows no recent opportunities directly soliciting vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, or the narrowly defined arterial procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent activity under this code comes from Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida, Texas (Harris County), and Washington, with solicitations issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and county procurement divisions. However, these opportunities address health plan administration (Long Beach's surgical carve-out for Centers of Excellence via RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management via RFP 25-8414), occupational surveillance (Washington State Ferries' medical examinations via RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), disability benefit medical evaluations (City of Phoenix via RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System via RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—none of which involve the specific arterial procedure the code nominally represents. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is being used as a broad catchall for medical service procurement rather than as a narrow identifier for a specific surgical intervention. Pursuit of opportunities under this code should be grounded in verification that the issuing body's actual need matches the clinical scope before resource investment.
