UNSPSC 85516316: Dilation of right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 047P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516316 Dilation of right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve anterior tibial artery dilation or percutaneous endoscopic vascular intervention. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a category designation that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.

The recent opportunities are instead concentrated in occupational health, employee benefit administration, and workforce temporary staffing across state agencies, county health systems, and municipal retirement boards. Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no clustering that would signal concentrated procurement demand. The source provides no evidence of repeat buyers or issuing bodies routinely advertising under this code, and the substantive work—medical record summarization, pharmacy network management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and occupational health compliance—bears no operational connection to vascular surgery. Firms pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of an individual solicitation before planning a response, as the nominal code descriptor does not predict the work content.
