This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to right femoral 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 041L0JH

UNSPSC 85511721 Bypass left femoral artery to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure — a vascular bypass graft — yet the six recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit surgical implants, devices, or related clinical supplies. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mix of health services administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and independent medical evaluation — none of which involve the procurement of vascular grafts or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between this code's technical definition and how state and local jurisdictions are actually tagging their health-related buys.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation via Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of these solicitations involve the purchase of cardiovascular grafts or surgical devices aligned with the code's stated scope. Firms in vascular device manufacturing or surgical supply distribution should verify code alignment with individual jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 85511721, as the recent activity offers no decision-relevant signal for this product line.
