UNSPSC 85511731: Bypass left femoral artery to foot artery with autologous venous tissue, 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 autologous venous tissue, 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 041L09P

UNSPSC 85511731 Bypass left femoral artery to foot artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical cardiovascular procedure, yet the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit vascular surgery services. Instead, the recent postings include independent medical evaluation and disability determination services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for PPO members (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations align with the code's surgical scope.

The mismatch between code name and solicitation content suggests this Commodity code is either misclassified in state and local procurement systems or rarely used for its intended purpose in this data window. State and local governments purchasing actual bypass surgery services may use different codes, or procurement offices may be applying this code incorrectly to tangential healthcare administration and staffing work. Without solicitations for vascular surgical devices, implants, or specific bypass procedure services, the code's current relevance to business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts is minimal. A firm focused on cardiovascular surgical products or services should monitor higher-level UNSPSC family codes for healthcare procurement activity rather than relying on this specific Commodity code.
