UNSPSC 85516453: Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041L4KN

UNSPSC 85516453 Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—a vascular bypass operation performed via endoscopic technique—yet recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public-safety pension determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concerns the specified bypass procedure or relates to procurement of that surgical service line.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the functional scope of recent opportunities suggests either a systematic data-quality issue in how state and local bodies are tagging medical and health-services solicitations, or that the code itself is being applied as a catch-all for health-services procurement beyond its intended commodity definition. Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State (Department of Transportation), with posting dates from July through September 2026. No recent solicitations actually procure the arterial bypass procedure named in the code, and pursuing this code as a medical-device or surgical-services opportunity would require clarification from issuing bodies about their actual tagging intent.
