UNSPSC 85515641: Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041M0KS

UNSPSC 85515641 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities tagged under it. The UNSPSC name describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code consist of independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical ancillary categories. None of these offerings involve the implantation or procurement of vascular grafts or surgical supplies. The mismatch suggests a coding error in how recent opportunities have been tagged in the state and local procurement system rather than a genuine alignment between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and actual buying activity.

The recent solicitations span multiple issuing bodies—city retirement boards and health benefit programs (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation and health authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health systems (Santa Clara County)—and reflect a pattern of procurement for medical administrative services, clinical staffing placement, and health benefits management rather than medical devices or surgical materials. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code shows no recent opportunities aligned with its stated scope of surgical vascular grafting materials or devices, there is no representative pipeline of relevant work under this classification for business development purposes at this time.
