UNSPSC 85515650: Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with synthetic 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 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 041M0JL

UNSPSC 85515650 Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity shown in recent opportunities. The code names a specific surgical procedure—a vascular bypass graft—yet the six most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code in the past three months solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve the procurement or performance of popliteal artery bypass grafts or related vascular interventions. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how opportunities are tagged at the source, or that this commodity code is being used as a catch-all for health service categories unrelated to its specific surgical scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a state agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with representative recent solicitations including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response deadline October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations (response deadline October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professionals across multiple ancillary clinical categories (response deadline October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). Given the systematic disconnection between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, pursuing opportunities under this code requires independent verification that a specific opportunity is genuinely related to vascular bypass grafting before committing business development resources.
