UNSPSC 85516331: Destruction of left foot artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left foot 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 045W4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516331 "Destruction of left foot artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach," a Commodity code, carries a medical-procedure classification that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The six opportunities on record span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve a specific vascular surgical procedure on the foot. The mismatch suggests either persistent miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a classification artifact; the code shows little relevant recent activity for the actual procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these align with the procedure-specific scope implied by the code title.
