This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right common iliac artery with nonautologous 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 04RC0KZ

UNSPSC 85511223 Replacement of right common iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular repair, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical services procurement that does not align with surgical implant or procedural supply sourcing — the typical focus of a code naming a discrete surgical intervention. Among the six opportunities tagged to this code, only one (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody) contains language broadly encompassing hospital-based care where such a procedure might occur; the others address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which target procurement of surgical supplies, devices, or procedure-specific services under the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include a state ferries department (Washington), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city government (Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration evident. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the medical-services work actually being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this code receives minimal legitimate activity for its intended purpose. A vendor targeting replacement vascular prosthetics or surgical device supply should not rely on this code as a reliable indicator of related procurement opportunity.
