UNSPSC 85516437: Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, 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 with synthetic 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 041M4JQ

UNSPSC 85516437 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code instead solicit medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency and specialty medical services — none of which involve popliteal artery bypass procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding problem or opportunistic application of this code by soliciting jurisdictions to capture broad healthcare services activity, and the code shows no relevant recent opportunities aligned with its clinical scope.

Recent activity under this code comes from Phoenix (occupational and disability medical evaluation services), Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit networks), Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County (inpatient and emergency care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories). None of these solicitations require or reference vascular surgery, endoscopic approaches, or synthetic arterial grafts. Until issuing bodies apply this code only to procurement of actual arterial bypass procedures or supplies, the code itself lacks decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing vascular surgery, medical device, or surgical implant contracts at the state and local level.
