This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic 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 041M0JQ

UNSPSC 85515647 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bypass grafting or lower-extremity vascular surgery. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for health services more broadly.

The issuing bodies posting under this code are a mix of city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county corrections agencies across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevant recent activity for vendors whose core business is vascular surgical procedures or implantable devices — the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns warrants verification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
