UNSPSC 85531668 Bypass right femoral vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgery carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern the surgical procedure named in the code, and no recent opportunities actually procure bypass grafts or related surgical implants or devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals either a categorical misclassification in the posting system or a data-entry error in the opportunities indexed to this code. State and local procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for the health services and staffing opportunities listed above before initiating business development activity. This code shows no relevant recent activity for contractors in medical device, implant, or surgical supply categories.
