UNSPSC 85516443: Bypass right popliteal artery to foot 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 foot 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 041M4AP

UNSPSC 85516443 Bypass right popliteal artery to foot artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its medical-procedure classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not actually solicit vascular surgical procedures. Instead, the source contains six state and local solicitations spanning independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represents procurement of the specific bypass procedure the code nominally describes, nor do they align with surgical-procedure purchasing by state and local bodies.

The issuing bodies in the tagged records are a municipal pension board (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The apparent mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement scope suggests either a cataloging error in the originating procurement database or that this UNSPSC code is not in active use for state and local medical-services purchasing. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunity targeting and confirm with issuing agencies whether any direct procurement of arterial bypass procedures occurs outside the channels these records represent.
