UNSPSC 85514020: Bypass left femoral artery to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to left femoral artery with synthetic 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 041L4JJ

UNSPSC 85514020 Bypass left femoral artery to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the source shows no demand for that procedure itself. Instead, state and local issuers are using this code to tag a range of medical services procurement that spans disability benefit evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing pools, and emergency care for detainees—none of which is a bypass procedure or surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and juvenile probation departments. No coherent commodity-level procurement activity exists under this code's stated definition.

Recent opportunities reflect administrative and clinical support services rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicits independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations across two public safety pension boards, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance with baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations, with cost-based evaluation (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability). The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories—audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, operating room, and others—with no guaranteed volume. Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no single jurisdiction dominating. The code shows little relevance to actual procurement practice at the state and local level and warrants reclassification or correction by issuing bodies.
