UNSPSC 85511718: Bypass left femoral artery to peroneal 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 peroneal 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 041L0JM

UNSPSC 85511718, Bypass left femoral artery to peroneal artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant connection to the code's surgical scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, youth detention healthcare services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees and retirees — none of which involve the specific arterial bypass procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical and health services procurement in the submitting jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services that do not fit more specific commodity taxonomy entries. Issuing bodies are predominantly local — city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). These are mixed-size jurisdictions with recurring health services procurement; no single buyer emerges as a repeat filer under this code.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration in a single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP 26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications across a five-year term with a maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The coding pattern indicates that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to health services work that falls outside its nominal surgical-procedure definition, making activity under the code itself a poor proxy for actual market opportunity in vascular surgery supply or service contracting.
