UNSPSC 85516308: Dilation of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal 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 047S4DZ

UNSPSC 85516308 Dilation of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific interventional surgical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic dilation of a tibial artery using an intraluminal device — a narrowly defined clinical intervention within vascular surgery. State and local governments do not procure this procedure itself as a commodity or service; vascular interventions are delivered by hospitals and specialty clinics as part of patient care, not purchased as standalone line items through competitive solicitation.

The six recent opportunities tagged to this code instead solicit health system administration, employee benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, pension-related disability evaluations, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope. These include pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, surgical benefit carve-out administration for the City of Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries, independent medical evaluations for Phoenix pension boards, specialty medical services for Harris County juvenile detention, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing for Santa Clara County Health System. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level rather than legitimate activity under this UNSPSC designation. Firms pursuing work in state and local health administration, employee benefits, occupational health, or clinical staffing should verify the correct UNSPSC codes through the source RFPs and solicitation documents rather than rely on this code as a discovery mechanism. This code shows no relevant recent procurement activity.
