UNSPSC 85515616: Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041N0KS

UNSPSC 85515616 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of this surgical service or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities captured under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public-employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these scopes align with procurement of vascular bypass procedures or implantable vascular devices.

The geographic spread of opportunities in the recent block includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies are mixed: municipal retirement offices, cities procuring employee health-plan services, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a county health system. The code appears to have been misclassified or applied inconsistently across these jurisdictions. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually solicited, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for current business development targeting.
