UNSPSC 85514027: Bypass left femoral artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 041L4AJ

UNSPSC 85514027 Bypass left femoral artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The solicitations posted under the code reflect broader medical services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — rather than the specific vascular bypass procedure the code nominally names. State and local issuing bodies using this code designation include municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), city health authorities (Long Beach, Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and specialized public sector healthcare programs. The actual work being solicited encompasses medical record review and summarization, physician-led occupational examinations, Centers of Excellence network management, pharmacy administration, clinical staffing placement, and emergency/inpatient hospital services.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and regions: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluations, response due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management, response due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, response due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferries, response due October 9, 2026; pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, response due September 25, 2026). The code shows mismatch between its stated procedure-specific definition and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services state and local governments are actually contracting for under this classification. This suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services outside traditional procurement taxonomies.
