UNSPSC 85515679: Bypass right femoral artery to right femoral 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 right femoral 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 041K0JH

UNSPSC 85515679 Bypass right femoral artery to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve femoral artery bypass procedures or the surgical implants the code nominally covers. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement platform or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement more broadly, rather than for specific surgical procedures or related devices.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine state and local purchasing across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and public health systems. However, none of these opportunities are actually soliciting bypass grafts, synthetic arterial substitutes, or related surgical supplies or services. Until the code is re-tagged to reflect the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under it, or until opportunities matching the surgical-procedure scope appear, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors pursuing contracts for the femoral artery bypass products or services the code nominally describes.
