This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041L0KK

UNSPSC 85511712 Bypass left femoral artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees and public sector health plans. None describe the arterial bypass procedure the code names. The issuing bodies are municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, and county juvenile justice agencies, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code appears to function as a catch-all for medical and health services procurement rather than a procedure-specific identifier in state and local practice.

The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, requiring board certification in occupational medicine and delivery within 60 days; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a $750,000 five-year maximum; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System built a multiple-award qualified vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed volume. Practitioners should note the code's mismatch with its stated procedure scope; real procurement under this tag targets occupational health compliance, pension medical administration, employee health benefits carve-outs, and clinical staffing placement.
