UNSPSC 85511717: Bypass left femoral artery to foot artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to foot artery with synthetic 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 041L0JP

UNSPSC 85511717, Bypass left femoral artery to foot artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code bears no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the most recent opportunities posted under it involve occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or implantable synthetic grafts. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting system or that this Commodity code has been repurposed or misapplied by issuing bodies for administrative categorization unrelated to the code's surgical procedure definition.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government bodies (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and a city retirement office (City of Phoenix). The geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Without opportunities that genuinely solicit vascular bypass grafts or related implantable devices, this code does not present a coherent procurement category for business development purposes in state and local government.
