UNSPSC 85516447: Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous 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 venous 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 041M49Q

UNSPSC 85516447 Bypass right popliteal artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show no purchases aligned with this surgical intervention. Instead, the code has been applied to procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency detention facility medical services. These solicitations span occupational health compliance, employee benefit administration, and public safety personnel determinations rather than the procurement of bypass surgery or related implant devices. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and employee benefit offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and local health consortia. This pattern reflects wide misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity tagged under it.

Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026 and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. The Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the systematic mismatch between code definition and actual purchases, this code shows little decision-relevant signal for vendors pursuing work in vascular surgery procurement or related medical device supply.
