This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, 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 041M09Q

UNSPSC 85515657 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominal taxonomy classification does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure code, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specified arterial bypass procedure. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners across multiple service lines that are administrative, clinical staffing, or benefits management in nature rather than surgical procedure delivery.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with a due date of October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract award in January–March 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing with a due date of October 7, 2026. The code shows no substantive recent alignment with its nominal scope and warrants investigation of whether the tagging reflects a data error or legacy classification drift.
