UNSPSC 85516237: Excision of left popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left popliteal 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 04BN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516237 Excision of left popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity among state and local public bodies. The code's scope—a specific surgical procedure to remove the left popliteal artery using minimally invasive endoscopic technique—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code tag in the recent state and local opportunities dataset. The five recent opportunities posted between February and May 2026 span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and emergency medical services medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures, popliteal artery work, or endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a fundamental misalignment between the taxonomy label and how the issuing bodies have tagged their procurements.

No state or local government solicitation in the recent opportunities block is actually procuring the surgical service described by this code. The posting jurisdictions—counties in Georgia, Florida, and California, plus a municipal fire department in California—are acquiring healthcare administration, pharmacy management, primary care access, behavioral health support, and medical oversight services, none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named by UNSPSC 85516237. This code warrants review for classification accuracy before prioritization.
