UNSPSC 85515667 Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular grafting; however, state and local governments do not procure this procedure directly as a product or service line. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, medical record review and summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services in detention settings, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the vascular procedure named in the code.

The mismatch reflects a common tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems, where health-related solicitations are sometimes filed under clinical procedure codes regardless of actual scope. No meaningful state or local procurement activity under this code is evident in the available recent opportunities. Firms should verify the accuracy of any RFP or RFQ tagged to this code before pursuing, as the nominal scope and the work actually being solicited do not correspond.
