UNSPSC 85515673 Bypass right femoral artery to right femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name refers to a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical-procedure purchasing. Instead, the code shows activity in medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the vascular surgery procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee health benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources division (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). This mix suggests the code is being applied inconsistently across jurisdictions and healthcare administrative functions, rather than as a marker for actual surgical procurement.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide ferry system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it address administrative healthcare services and staffing, not surgical procedures, indicating either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data quality issue in the UNSPSC-code assignment.
