UNSPSC 85516414: Bypass left popliteal artery to peroneal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to peroneal artery with synthetic 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 041N4JM

UNSPSC 85516414 Bypass left popliteal artery to peroneal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the most-recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which match the code's procedural scope.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error at the source or that state and local buyers are misapplying the UNSPSC taxonomy to health services procurements that fall outside this code's intended use. The opportunities do span multiple issuing bodies (state departments, counties, and city health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington) and involve substantial contract values, but they do not procure the vascular procedure described in the code. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing no relevant recent activity and verify classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
