UNSPSC 85516455: Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 041L4JN

UNSPSC 85516455 Bypass left femoral artery to posterior tibial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a marked divergence from that scope. The six most recent opportunities tag medical evaluation, medical surveillance, health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services — none of which align with the code's nominal descriptor of a vascular surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County, California). This pattern indicates the code is being applied inconsistently across state and local procurement systems, likely as a catch-all for health-related services rather than as a descriptor of actual surgical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no state appearing more than once in the recent sample. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety pension boards, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed minimum work. The code shows no recent activity matching the vascular surgical procedure named in its title.
