UNSPSC 85516421: Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with autologous venous 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 venous 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 041N49S

UNSPSC 85516421 Bypass left popliteal artery to lower extremity vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominates. State and local governments do contract for medical services across multiple operational domains, but the tagging of these diverse opportunities under a single procedural code suggests misclassification rather than genuine procurement activity within the code's defined scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Recent solicitations include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the Santa Clara County Health System's proposal call for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No procurement activity directly targeting the code's nominal vascular surgical procedure appears in the recent record.
