This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left external iliac artery with intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511008 Restriction of left external iliac artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — restriction of the left external iliac artery using an intraluminal device via open approach — but the six recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations seek the surgical procedure itself; they represent healthcare services procurement, benefits administration, and vendor qualification efforts that are only tangentially related to the code's stated scope, if at all. The mismatch between the code's technical medical nomenclature and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or a data categorization issue in the source system.

The issuing bodies include a mix of county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a county juvenile probation department. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the low relevance of the code to the actual opportunities tagged under it, firms targeting specific healthcare services delivery or benefits administration should verify correct coding in each issuing body's procurement system rather than relying on this code as a reliable signal for future opportunities.
