This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left internal iliac artery 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 04RF0JZ

UNSPSC 85511215 Replacement of left internal iliac artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity as currently recorded. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular replacement — but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address medical administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than the implantation of synthetic vascular substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity records or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to capture broader medical services that do not correspond to the surgical procedure the code nominally names.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation acting on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Activity concentrates in California, Florida, and Washington, with single opportunities in Arizona and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026 with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. This code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope.
