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 041N0AQ

UNSPSC 85515627 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect vascular surgery procurement at all. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with procurement of popliteal artery bypass procedures or vascular surgical supplies. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error at the source level or that the code is being applied inconsistently by issuing jurisdictions. State and local governments do not appear to be using this code to purchase vascular surgical procedures, implants, or related operative supplies.

The recent opportunities in the block span multiple jurisdictions and service categories: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical evaluation services), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because none of these solicitations involve actual vascular surgery procurement, operative supplies, or implants, this code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated scope. Prospective vendors should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify classification with the issuing body before responding to any future opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC number.
