UNSPSC 85511736 Bypass right femoral artery to lower extremity vein, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities do not reflect procurement of this procedure or related clinical interventions. The opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a vascular bypass procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The six opportunities posted between July and August 2026 draw from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either a cataloging error or a significant drift between the code's intended application and current state and local procurement behavior. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify with issuing bodies directly whether they intend to procure the named procedure or whether the code assignment reflects a data quality issue rather than genuine demand for vascular surgery services through state or local contracting channels.
