UNSPSC 85515644: Bypass right popliteal artery to peroneal artery 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 peroneal artery 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 041M0KM

UNSPSC 85515644 Bypass right popliteal artery to peroneal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the opportunities in the dataset reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and pediatric detention facility emergency services—none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's technical surgical description and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or opportunistic application of a clinical-procedure code to general health services contracting. State and local procurement offices classifying these opportunities under this UNSPSC code may be using it as a catch-all for health services without regard to specificity. Given this disconnection, the code shows no relevant recent activity for vascular bypass surgical services or related devices and supplies in the state and local market.
