UNSPSC 85515645: Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal 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 popliteal 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 041M0KL

UNSPSC 85515645 Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local contract activity reveals a substantial mismatch: the code is being applied to occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs. The solicitations tagged under this code do not involve vascular bypass procedures or any orthopedic implants. Instead, issuing bodies—including county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county health systems—are using the code to classify administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing arrangements. This signals either a data-entry error in the classification system or systematic misapplication of the code to a broader administrative healthcare category that does not align with the commodity's stated surgical scope.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for disability pension determinations, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefit program, HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414); the County of Santa Clara Health System in California (temporary clinical staffing pool, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Given the code's nominal surgical scope and the absence of any vascular-procedure or implant-related solicitations in the recent pipeline, pursuit activity under this code classification is not supported by current market signals; prospective vendors should verify code assignment with issuing procurement offices before investing in pursuit strategy.
