UNSPSC 85515676: Bypass right femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue 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 041K0KH

UNSPSC 85515676 Bypass right femoral artery to right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to vascular bypass surgery or the implantation of nonautologous tissue substitutes. This classification mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the sourcing system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's procedural scope and the opportunities it is being used to tag.

State and local procurement bodies do not routinely solicit for specific surgical procedures as commodities. The code appears to be incorrectly applied to healthcare service contracts that fall under different commodity families. Firms evaluating this code should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification of any specific opportunity before pursuing; the current tagging offers no signal of genuine market demand for bypass graft procedures or related medical devices at the state and local level.
