UNSPSC 85511222: Replacement of left common iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left common iliac artery with autologous tissue 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 04RD07Z

UNSPSC 85511222 Replacement of left common iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitations on file. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular replacement — but the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services constitute or directly support the vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the scope of work actually being solicited indicates either miscoding at the issuing body or a taxonomy misalignment that makes this code an unreliable signal for procurement planning in this area.

The solicitations do show activity from diverse state and local issuing bodies — county health departments and boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement funds (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county human resources divisions (Collier County) — but the work spans health plan administration, clinical staffing, occupational health, and benefits management rather than surgical procedures. Because the code title and the recent opportunities are substantively unrelated, treating this code as a procurement vehicle for vascular surgery services or the clinical services actually being solicited would be misleading. Bidders should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources.
