UNSPSC 85515633: Bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery with autologous venous 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 041N09P

UNSPSC 85515633 Bypass left popliteal artery to foot artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this tag span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve bypass grafting or the procedural service the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to health-care-adjacent services rather than to the surgical procedure itself, or that the tagging reflects administrative misclassification within the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities.

No recent state and local government solicitations are actually buying vascular surgical services under this code. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are procuring administrative, staffing, and benefit management services. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but these jurisdictions are not using this UNSPSC code to acquire the surgical procedure its name describes. The code appears inactive for its stated commodity and warrants reclassification or review before allocating business development resources to pursue opportunities tagged under it.
