UNSPSC 85515621: Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 041N0JS

UNSPSC 85515621 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code—independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—describe healthcare services administration, benefits management, and personnel staffing, none of which align with vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy that state and local procurement systems have incorrectly applied to general health services solicitations, creating a mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being bought.

This code does not represent an active state and local procurement opportunity. Vendors pursuing state and local government contracts in healthcare services should verify that opportunities are tagged under codes describing administrative services, benefits management, or staffing rather than specific clinical procedures, and should flag any similarly misclassified opportunities to the issuing procurement office for correction before submitting proposals.
