This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to lower extremity vein, open 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 041L0ZS

UNSPSC 85511701 Bypass left femoral artery to lower extremity vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve femoral artery bypass procedures or vascular surgery implants. State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify opportunities by assigning an unrelated medical procedure code to administrative or clinical staffing solicitations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code sees minimal genuine activity in the state and local space.

The recent opportunities instead reflect demand for healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicits occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach requests surgical benefit management through centers of excellence; Santa Clara County seeks temporary ancillary clinical staffing; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issues an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, state transportation departments, counties, and local health systems. The code shows no genuine recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope of femoral bypass procedures.
