UNSPSC 85512541: Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta 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 04100JJ

UNSPSC 85512541 Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure with implantable device components, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which involve the implantable vascular grafts or open aortic bypass procedures the code describes. This is a classification mismatch rather than an active procurement category.

The source contains no recent state and local solicitations actually buying bypass aorta grafts or related cardiovascular implants under this code. The five opportunities posted reflect medical services contracting (Washington State Ferries occupational health screening, Phoenix pension disability evaluations, Long Beach surgical benefit networks, Harris County juvenile detention healthcare, Collier County pharmacy management, and Santa Clara temporary health staffing), which fall outside the Commodity code's nominal scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have mislabeled these opportunities or are using the code as a broad catch-all for medical services rather than device procurement. Bidders should verify the actual equipment or service scope during the RFP pre-bid phase before investing in proposal development.
