UNSPSC 85511756 Bypass right femoral artery to foot artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomic label. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which constitute vascular surgical procedures or arterial bypass work. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor that has been misapplied to administrative and operational health services procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No recent opportunities reflect actual procurement of the vascular surgical service the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the Commodity code's clinical specificity and the administrative health-services scope of posted solicitations signals that this code does not align with current state and local purchasing patterns and should not be relied upon to identify relevant procurement activity in vascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, or related clinical procedures.
