UNSPSC 85515665: Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial 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 041L0JN

UNSPSC 85515665 Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code are for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates either a data-tagging error or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this particular code is being applied in practice.

No recent state and local procurement activity aligns with the actual scope of the code as named. The opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026 across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas represent diverse healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing services, but do not include vascular surgery procurement, implantable device supply, or operative facility contracting that would correspond to the code's nominal description. Prospective vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85515665, as the current tag appears to reflect administrative or classification error rather than genuine demand for the surgical service described.
