UNSPSC 85516417: Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity artery 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 artery 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 041N4AQ

UNSPSC 85516417 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on blood vessels in the lower extremity; the source contains no solicitations from state or local governments for vascular bypass surgery services, interventional devices, or related clinical supplies. Instead, the recent opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve vascular bypass procedures or the clinical capabilities the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either a miscoding error in the procurement system or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy at the time of posting. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit for specific surgical procedures as standalone goods or services; they contract for clinical staffing, benefit administration, care coordination, and occupational health programs. This code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
