UNSPSC 85515613: Bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery, open 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 041N0ZP

UNSPSC 85515613 Bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical description. Instead, the opportunities actually being solicited span independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve the specific bypass surgery named in the code. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal employee benefits offices. This pattern suggests either systematic miscoding of health-services procurement or that the code has been repurposed in practice to encompass a broader family of medical administration and staffing activities rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026) with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026) with a two-year term and optional five-year extension; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed volume; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (response due April 9, 2026, though this date has passed as of October 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the administrative and staffing work actually being bought, this code warrants close examination before pursuit; the recent opportunities do not support procurement activity in the specific clinical service the code nominally describes.
