UNSPSC 85515635: Bypass left popliteal artery to popliteal 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 popliteal 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 041N09L

UNSPSC 85515635 Bypass left popliteal artery to popliteal artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The solicitations tagged to this code instead center on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the underlying procurement systems or that state and local agencies are using this code as a catch-all placeholder for broader healthcare contracting rather than for the discrete surgical intervention the code specifies. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee health plans — a diverse issuing-body mix spanning administrative healthcare management rather than surgical procurement.

The recent opportunities cluster geographically in California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries employees across 14 ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract execution by April 1, 2027; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFQ posted July 7, 2026, proposals due October 7, 2026); and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. None of these solicitations involve the specific popliteal artery bypass procedure. The code shows no substantive recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.
