UNSPSC 85516245: Drainage of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 049S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516245 Drainage of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal clinical procedural scope and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve drainage of posterior tibial arteries or percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue within state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed in practice to capture broader medical services contracting rather than its specific procedural definition.

Recent activity under this code originates from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation authorities, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procedural vascular work in these opportunities and the breadth of unrelated medical services activity, this code should be treated as unreliable for targeting vascular intervention contracting and monitored for code-assignment correction at the source.
