UNSPSC 85515668: Bypass left femoral artery to popliteal artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to popliteal artery with autologous arterial 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 041L0AL

UNSPSC 85515668 Bypass left femoral artery to popliteal artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The six opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the vascular surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement databases sometimes apply broad or mismatched taxonomy to healthcare services and administrative functions that do not correspond to the specific procedure this code nominally describes. The disconnect suggests the code may be used as a catchall for healthcare-related activity rather than for the actual procurement of vascular surgical services or related clinical interventions.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). The recent opportunities reflect administrative healthcare procurement—benefits consulting, staffing, and care coordination—rather than procedural clinical services. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without evidence of solicitations for actual vascular surgical procedures or cardiovascular interventions under this code, state and local agencies currently using this taxonomy appear to be deploying it for healthcare management and workforce functions rather than specialty surgical services.
