UNSPSC 85516410: Bypass left popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 041N4KL

UNSPSC 85516410 Bypass left popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the surgical intervention scope the code name suggests. The most recent opportunities instead reflect medical evaluation, surveillance, benefit administration, and staffing services across health-system, county-pension, and municipal-employee contexts. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. These opportunities indicate that the code is capturing administrative healthcare procurement—medical record review, occupational health screening, benefit-plan innovation, and temporary clinical staffing—rather than the procedural surgery the code nominally names.

Geographic activity spans Washington (occupational medical surveillance for state ferries), Arizona (Phoenix pension-board disability evaluations), California (Long Beach employee benefits and Santa Clara temporary staffing), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with Harris County, Texas issuing an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth. The representative opportunities show issuing bodies across municipal, state-department, county, and health-system entities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) closes October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services with a five-year term valued at $750,000 maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) closes October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year initial term and option to extend; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) closes October 7, 2026 to establish a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows low relevance to its nominal scope and warrants clarification with the issuing authorities regarding actual procurement intent.
