UNSPSC 85516335: Destruction of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 045Q4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516335 Destruction of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular or surgical intervention work. Instead, the opportunities solicited span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve destruction of or intervention upon the anterior tibial artery. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy label and the actual procurement activity being tagged under it, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data-quality issue in the code assignment at source.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferries employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure Center of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026). Given the absence of vascular surgery or endoscopic intervention work in the recent opportunity stream, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for business development professionals pursuing contracts aligned with its stated scope.
