UNSPSC 85515680 Bypass right femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a highly specialized surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with vascular surgery itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect health system procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies span city retirement systems, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, and county juvenile probation departments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual services being solicited suggests the code may be misapplied to these health administration and staffing opportunities, or that state and local procurement offices are using this vascular-surgery code as a catch-all for health services that do not fit a more precise category.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals and shipyard locations (RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (RFP due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP due April 9, 2026 — a past deadline, indicating outdated tagging). The code shows no clear recent purchasing pattern aligned with its stated commodity scope and warrants verification against the buyer's actual UNSPSC taxonomy in use.
