This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left foot artery with drainage device, 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 049W40Z

UNSPSC 85516242 Drainage of left foot artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve arterial drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic techniques. This code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure its name describes.

The six recent opportunities span issuing bodies including a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system, posted between July and September 2026 with response dates from September through October 2026. The geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 for $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being procured suggests a classification error in the source data rather than an active market for the named procedure under this UNSPSC code.
