This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open 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 061N0JY

UNSPSC 85531663 Bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities instead reflect broader health services procurement across multiple jurisdictions, including independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgery center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. This mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests the code may be incorrectly applied or that state and local procurement offices are using it as a catch-all for health services contracting outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies include county human resources and retirement offices (Phoenix, Collier County), city procurement agencies (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county boards of commissioners. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with posting dates concentrated in late August through mid-September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties due October 7, 2026. Given the code's technical specificity and the divergence between its name and recent solicitations, this code warrants scrutiny before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
