This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85531664 Bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little relevance to the nominal scope — the solicitations are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities procure or reference the specific vascular surgery procedure named in the code. The code appears to reflect a taxonomic mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual work being solicited by state and local buyers.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span multiple sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension-related disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention health services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county employee pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (health system temporary staffing). Geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's description and the nature of the opportunities posted, this code does not represent a reliable procurement signal for vendors pursuing vascular surgery procedures or related medical device and service supply under state and local contracts.
