UNSPSC 85515612 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code involve medical service administration, employee health benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute the procedural intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a data-management artifact where medical-service-related codes are being conflated with procedural taxonomy entries. State and local governments do purchase medical services, but not surgical procedures themselves under their direct contracting — they procure health plan administration, occupational health screening, emergency care networks for detainees, and temporary staffing to support clinical operations.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities represent diverse public sectors: a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county human resources and benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement of surgical procedures or vascular interventions.
