UNSPSC 85516329: Dilation of right femoral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right femoral 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 047K4DZ

UNSPSC 85516329 Dilation of right femoral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect vascular intervention services. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedure carve-outs in employee health plans, occupational health surveillance programs, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous femoral artery dilation or interventional vascular work. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly or that the taxonomy entry does not align with state and local government purchasing patterns.

Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical procedure carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferries personnel (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool across ancillary clinical specialties (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and city health systems across Arizona, California, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural scope and actual procurement activity, this code warrants investigation into whether a higher-tier family or class code better captures state and local government medical services purchasing.
