UNSPSC 85515660: Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with autologous venous tissue, 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 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 041M09L

UNSPSC 85515660 Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure classification but shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing contracting rather than procedural surgical services or implantable medical devices. None of these solicitations involves vascular bypass surgery, autologous venous grafts, or related operative supplies or services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical-procedure designation and the actual work state and local buyers are posting suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices categorize healthcare administration and staffing services. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for surgical-procedure contracting and verify the correct classification before pursuing any of these healthcare administrative opportunities independently.
