UNSPSC 85516450: Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal 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 popliteal 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 041M49L

UNSPSC 85516450 Bypass right popliteal artery to popliteal artery with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows no alignment between the code's nominal medical procedure scope and the work actually being procured. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or the specific surgical intervention the code describes. State and local buyers tagging these opportunities with UNSPSC 85516450 appear to be using the code as a catch-all for health and medical services procurement rather than for the discrete procedure named in the taxonomy. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county commissioners' boards (Collier County). This pattern suggests the code is misapplied systematically across jurisdictions rather than representing authentic demand for popliteal artery bypass procedures.

Geographic distribution spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, requiring physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, seeking disability benefit assessments at $750,000 over five years; and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 clinical ancillary categories. Given the complete mismatch between the code nomenclature and actual procurement content, this code does not represent a viable business development target for vendors offering the named surgical service or any closely related procedural capability.
