UNSPSC 85515640: Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery, 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 041M0ZL

UNSPSC 85515640 Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve popliteal artery bypass surgery. This misclassification appears to reflect a data-entry or system error in how issuing bodies have tagged their solicitations rather than genuine procurement demand for the procedure itself.

The four concrete solicitations are issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability benefit applications, RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, proposals due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing for ancillary clinical specialties including audiology and imaging, RFQ due October 7, 2026), and Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management services, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and should be treated as inactive for vascular surgery contracting purposes.
