UNSPSC 85516442: Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial 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 041M4AQ

UNSPSC 85516442 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted against this code do not procure that procedure or related vascular surgery services. Instead, the opportunities solicit occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for elective procedures, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which align with the peripheral vascular bypass service the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a drift between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies label healthcare services acquisitions. No state or local government solicitation in the recent block actually seeks vascular surgery services, surgical expertise, hospital partnerships for bypass procedures, or related vascular intervention capabilities.

The recent opportunities span a mix of issuing bodies including state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). Given the complete absence of vascular surgery or cardiovascular procedure procurement under this code in the recent block, the code shows no actionable activity for vendors providing peripheral arterial bypass services or related surgical capabilities.
