UNSPSC 85816117: Introduction of other therapeutic substance into peripheral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other therapeutic substance into peripheral artery, percutaneous approach. This administrative 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 3E053GC

UNSPSC 85816117 Introduction of other therapeutic substance into peripheral artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its clinical code name and the state and local procurement activity being tagged under it. The recent opportunities record reveals that state and local government entities are not soliciting the interventional radiology or vascular access procedures this code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span disparate health service categories—virtual urgent care, medical services, PACE operations, occupational health screening, cancer registry services, retinal screening devices, EMS staffing, employee health clinics, psychiatric evaluations, wellness programs, recovery audit services, opioid use disorder treatment, and various specialty healthcare staffing and diagnostic functions—none of which correspond to peripheral arterial substance injection. The code does not capture meaningful procurement volume in state and local markets for the service it nominally describes.

This code presents minimal strategic interest for state and local vendors. The sprawling miscategorization of disparate health services under a single interventional vascular code signals a taxonomy mismatch rather than a coherent procurement category. Opportunities are scattered across health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), state health authorities (Nevada), counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Santa Clara County, California; Forsyth County, Georgia; Cobb County, Georgia), municipalities (City of Ocala, Florida; City of Phoenix, Arizona), school districts (Parkway School District), and state departments (Texas HHS, Colorado DHS, New Jersey DOH, Illinois Secretary of State). Geographic spread spans California, Georgia, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Texas, and other jurisdictions, reflecting activity beneath the code's stated scope. Prospecting under this code requires verification that individual opportunities actually involve peripheral arterial therapeutic substance injection rather than relying on the code tag alone; the source data strongly suggests the code taxonomy is not being applied correctly by issuing bodies.
