UNSPSC 85516337: Destruction of left popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left popliteal 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 045N4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516337 Destruction of left popliteal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent a misalignment between the code's narrow anatomical-surgical classification and the actual work being solicited. State and local buyers are seeking broad healthcare management, staffing, and benefit administration services; none of the opportunities involve percutaneous endoscopic destruction of arteries or comparable surgical procedures specific to the code's intended taxonomy.

The issuing bodies span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity appears scattered across the Southwest, West Coast, and South, with no concentration in a single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026). The code exhibits classification drift rather than genuine procurement activity; vendors seeking work in healthcare delivery, occupational health compliance, medical management, or benefits administration should monitor state and local solicitations directly rather than rely on this code's current tagging patterns.
