UNSPSC 85516321: Dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting 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 047N44Z

UNSPSC 85516321 Dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedural scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent postings do not reflect procurement of vascular intervention devices or services; instead, they capture general occupational health services, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and retirement disability medical evaluations. The code appears to have been applied broadly across state and local health-related contracting without regard to the specific clinical procedure named in the code taxonomy.

The recent-opportunities block includes postings from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension-benefit determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit networks for municipal employee health plans), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management services). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. No recent opportunities directly procure the vascular intervention device or procedure named in the code; the code's application to occupational health examinations, PBM administration, and temporary staffing suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the commodity code as a catch-all for general health services without procedural specificity. Firms pursuing this code should verify that individual solicitations align with their actual service or product scope before responding, as the code taxonomy and recent procurement activity are substantially misaligned.
