UNSPSC 85516471: Bypass right femoral artery to popliteal 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 femoral artery to popliteal 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 041K4AL

UNSPSC 85516471, Bypass right femoral artery to popliteal artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure classification. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, show little relevance to the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which align with performing or procuring the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either coding errors in the source opportunities or that this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems. The actual work being solicited includes medical administration, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and staffing coordination rather than direct surgical services.

The issuing bodies represented include Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office (serving pension boards), California's City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (medical record summarization and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual cases, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (baseline and periodic exams for shipyard and vessel crews across 14 Washington locations); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive staffing qualification pool RFP due October 7, 2026 (audiology, radiology, therapy, and other ancillary health professional categories, no guaranteed volume). The code shows material procurement activity, but recent opportunities do not substantively match the specific surgical procedure the code nominally identifies.
