UNSPSC 85515677: Bypass right 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 right 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 041K0JN

UNSPSC 85515677 Bypass right femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's clinical scope. The six opportunities on record do not solicit vascular bypass procedures or implantable medical devices. Instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out program management (City of Long Beach), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal governments; none of the recent solicitations target the specific vascular surgical procedure the code describes.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington based on recent activity. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, this code does not appear to be in active use for its intended purpose at the state and local level. Procurement professionals should verify whether the code assignment is a data-entry error in the underlying opportunity record or whether the code has been misapplied to broader healthcare services categories. No decision-relevant signal emerges from this code for firms pursuing vascular surgical device or implant contracts with state and local health systems.
