UNSPSC 85516800: Percutaneous left femoral-popliteal artery bypass with synthetic substitute

This classification denotes the group of activities that yield a percutaneous intervention or procedure to bypass the femoral artery through the femoral vein and back into lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach. This percutaneous 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 X2KG3E9.

UNSPSC 85516800 Percutaneous left femoral-popliteal artery bypass with synthetic substitute is a Class code under which state and local governments procure occupational and disability medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, and specialty medical care administration for public employees and beneficiaries. Recent solicitations show the code applied to independent medical evaluations for public pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — a scope markedly broader than the code's nominal surgical-procedure title and reflecting how state and local procurement offices tag multifaceted healthcare services to this taxonomy entry.

Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. Representative recent opportunities span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term not-to-exceed $750,000 beginning February 3, 2027), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and extension options through five additional years), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, targeting go-live April 1, 2027 with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals). Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with additional county-level activity in Texas and recent pharmacy and health professional staffing solicitations from Collier County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California. The code shows broad recent activity across multiple health administration and clinical staffing categories rather than focus on a single procedure type.
