This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral femoral arteries, 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 04100ZK

UNSPSC 85512502 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral femoral arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no connection to vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the actual solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and multi-specialty physician examination networks. The mismatch between the code's name and the work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a data classification issue within these procurement systems; the opportunities do not reflect procurement of bypass procedures or other surgical implants or services aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code are primarily local health systems and municipal employers: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determination), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Activity appears distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Without recent opportunities that actually match the code's stated scope of vascular surgical procedures, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in that service line.
