This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue 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 041M4KL

UNSPSC 85516435, Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a highly specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for public employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, 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 describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in the data source that limits the practical utility of tracking procurement under this Commodity code.

No state or local government solicitations in the source material are actually buying the vascular bypass service identified in UNSPSC 85516435. Entities posting opportunities under this code — the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara — are purchasing general health services, administrative medical support, and staffing rather than specific surgical interventions. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether the code assignment is intentional or reflects a data-entry error before allocating resources to pursue work under this Commodity designation.
