About UNSPSC 85516438
UNSPSC 85516438 Bypass right popliteal artery to foot artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a vascular bypass graft performed endoscopically — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect instead medical services procurement, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error in the underlying system. State and local governments do not typically purchase individual surgical procedures as line items; they contract for institutional healthcare delivery, benefits administration, medical staffing, and occupational health programs managed by health systems, local retirement offices, county agencies, and municipal human resources departments.
The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona (Phoenix city pension boards), California (Long Beach city and Santa Clara County health system), Florida (Collier County), Washington (state ferries), and Texas (Harris County juvenile probation), with no geographic concentration or repeat buyers visible in the sample. The solicitations include Phoenix's RFP for independent disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (posted with an expired April 9, 2026 deadline), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these align with the code's nominal scope of vascular bypass surgery. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification before investing in pursuit activity, as the current tagging does not reflect genuine surgical-procedure procurement.
