This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to peroneal artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 041N0AM

UNSPSC 85515629 Bypass left popliteal artery to peroneal artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relation to vascular surgery. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve cardiovascular or vascular surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and county commissioners (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris County), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city employee benefits function (Long Beach). The code shows significant misclassification in the state and local procurement system; the opportunities themselves are genuine, but the UNSPSC tagging does not match the work being solicited.

Geographic activity appears primarily in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach, Collier), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentrated regional pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting proposals for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation issuing an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual work scope in each solicitation before responding, as the code's nominal scope does not predict the service requirements.
