UNSPSC 85516249: Drainage of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 049Q4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516249 Drainage of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the clinical procedure named in the code. Instead, the code appears to be misapplied to a range of occupational health, disability evaluation, employee benefits, and health professional staffing services that fall well outside vascular surgical intervention. The opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, specialty medical services for youth in detention, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve arterial drainage procedures or vascular surgery. This mismatch suggests the code is either miscategorized in the underlying procurement database or serves as a catch-all for miscoded health services contracts.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across multiple states and include municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the vascular procedure it nominally describes; prospective bidders should verify whether opportunities actually align with their service lines before pursuing contracts tagged to this code.
