This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to bilateral femoral arteries 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 041L09K

UNSPSC 85511733, Bypass left femoral artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little relevant activity aligned with that scope. The most recent solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical care-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular surgery procedure the code name describes. This code shows little focused procurement activity in its nominal commodity area among state and local buyers.

No representative state and local opportunities directly match the code's stated scope of purchasing or contracting for the specified femoral bypass procedure. The tagged solicitations reflect broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management activity rather than procurement of a defined surgical procedure or related implantable devices and supplies. When state and local procurement codes are applied to health system contracting, mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope is common; this code appears to be one such instance. Business development professionals pursuing activity under this code should verify actual buyer intent through direct outreach to issuing health systems and procurement offices rather than relying on the code assignment alone.
