This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right femoral 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 049K4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516259 Drainage of right femoral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure name. The source contains six recent state and local contract opportunities, but none directly solicit drainage of a femoral artery or percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plan coverage, occupational medical surveillance services, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These services operate in wholly different procurement contexts—occupational health compliance, pension administration, health plan design, detention facility operations, and workforce staffing—rather than vascular surgical interventions. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited are substantially misaligned, suggesting either systematic tagging error or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for health services that do not fit narrower procurement taxonomies.

The issuing bodies span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Geographic activity concentrates in the West and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and response dates ranging from September 25 through October 16, 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety pension boards, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations. No evidence supports genuine procurement of drainage procedures or vascular surgery services under this code in the current market.
