UNSPSC 85512560: Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 04100AJ

UNSPSC 85512560 Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—do not involve vascular surgical procedures or operative interventions of any kind. These solicitations address medical administration, employee benefits management, occupational health screening, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which fall within the scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure code.

The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state and local procurement systems or a systematic miscoding of health-services opportunities. The code itself is narrowly specified for a single operative procedure—bypass grafting of the abdominal aorta using autologous arterial tissue via open surgical approach—which represents operative facility or surgical supply procurement. No recent opportunities in the source material describe procurement of such procedures, equipment, or supplies. Firms pursuing state and local health-sector contracts should verify code accuracy before responding to opportunities posted under this taxonomy marker, as current tagging does not reflect the nominal commodity scope.
