UNSPSC 85511742: Bypass right femoral artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right femoral artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue 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 041K0KS

UNSPSC 85511742 Bypass right femoral artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and pediatric detention-setting acute care — none of which align with vascular surgery procurement. The mismatch indicates that either the code was applied incorrectly to these opportunities or procurement systems are classifying non-procedure medical services and staffing under a procedure-specific commodity code, rendering the code an unreliable signal for vascular surgery or related implant demand.

No state and local government body has posted a solicitation for vascular surgery services, vascular prosthetics, surgical implants, or related equipment under this code in the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies active in the block — the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are acquiring medical management services, staffing, and benefits administration rather than surgical procedures or device procurement. Geographic concentration and repeat-buyer patterns cannot be characterized from vascular-surgery-aligned opportunities because none appear in the source. Unless your firm has direct relationships with hospital systems or surgical centers that procure vascular grafts and prosthetics outside standard state and local RFP channels, this code warrants a skip pending clarification of how it is being applied in your target markets.
