UNSPSC 85516416: Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 041N4AS

UNSPSC 85516416 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code designation. The solicitations retrieved—including independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—are health care service procurement activities that bear no relationship to the vascular surgical procedure described in the code name. State and local governments do not solicit or contract for specific surgical procedures themselves under procurement codes; the code appears to have been misapplied to these health care administration and staffing opportunities.

The source shows no recent state and local contract opportunities that actually match the procedural specification in UNSPSC 85516416. The issuing bodies represented in the retrieved records—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing health care management, staffing, and administrative services for their employee and beneficiary populations, not medical device procurement or surgical procedure contracting. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC designation if health care administration or staffing is the actual target market.
