This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery, 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 041L0ZN

UNSPSC 85515661 Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration, benefit management, and occupational health services rather than vascular surgical procedures or device procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program management vendor; Washington State Ferries is seeking occupational medical surveillance providers; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations directly procure the arterial bypass surgery or associated surgical devices that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement intent suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities represent peripheral healthcare administration rather than core surgical services. Business development professionals should verify whether this code in their target jurisdictions reflects actual vascular surgery device or service procurement, or whether opportunities tagged to 85515661 consistently map to healthcare management and staffing services outside the code's intended scope. Without recent evidence of genuine state and local buying under the code's nominal category, pursuit strategy should focus on clarifying which issuing bodies use this code correctly and whether material volume exists for the intended product or service line.
