This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with synthetic 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 041H0JJ

UNSPSC 85511926 Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity shows little to no alignment with this code's scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specific arterial bypass procedure the code names. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring this surgical procedure under this code; the tagging appears to reflect a data classification error rather than actual buying behavior.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county commissioners board (Collier County, Florida), a city health system (Long Beach), and a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No coherent procurement pattern exists under this code for the named surgical procedure; instead, the activity reflects general state and local health services contracting unrelated to vascular surgery. Firms should treat this code as inactive for surgical device or procedure procurement purposes and verify the correct code classification before pursuing any opportunity tagged to it.
