UNSPSC 85516427: Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery, 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 041M4ZQ

UNSPSC 85516427 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no procurement activity aligned with vascular surgical interventions. Instead, the solicitations address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve popliteal artery bypass procedures or related vascular surgery supply chains. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding or minimal genuine activity in the popliteal artery bypass space at the state and local level.

The six opportunities posted since July 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, IFB due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP closed April 9, 2026, $8.7 million historical annual spend), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool for ancillary clinical services, RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona, with no pattern suggesting procurement demand for the vascular procedure itself. This code warrants review for potential reclassification of opportunities or exclusion from active monitoring until activity genuinely reflects its surgical scope.
