UNSPSC 85514014: Bypass left femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 041L4KH

UNSPSC 85514014 Bypass left femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The opportunities actually solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific vascular surgery procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this UNSPSC designation is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement when no more specific code applies.

State and local issuing bodies appear to be using this code to tag healthcare administration and occupational health services. Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit network management, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Given the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement activity, this code should be treated as unreliable for strategic sourcing — the opportunities posted under it do not reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally names, and business development professionals should verify the actual scope of any opportunity before responding.
