UNSPSC 85514859: Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral femoral arteries 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 04104AK

UNSPSC 85514859 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and pediatric detention healthcare — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or surgical interventions at the arterial level. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that has been misapplied to administrative and occupational health services procurement, suggesting either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this particular code is being used in practice.

State and local buyers—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Collier County, the City of Long Beach, Harris County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are using this code designation for health services contracting that falls outside its nominal scope. Because the recent opportunities show no alignment with the code's stated procedure definition, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vendors pursuing state and local vascular surgery or interventional services work.
