UNSPSC 85516232: Excision of right foot artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right foot 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 04BV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516232 Excision of right foot artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but it shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being solicited under it in recent opportunities. State and local governments are not procuring the excision procedure itself; instead, the code tags medical services requests that address disability benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. These solicitations span medical record review and summarization, independent medical examinations, occupational medicine compliance, specialty hospital care, and staffing placement, none of which correspond to the code's named procedure. The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the actual goods and services being bought suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the procedure-specific commodity classification and how state and local procurement offices apply UNSPSC tags to broader health administration and staffing services.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems (Collier County and Santa Clara), and county workforce authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration evident. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect meaningful procurement activity aligned with its stated definition.
