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 049J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511505 Drainage of left external iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its intended medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch: state and local procurement offices are tagging solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or drainage of the external iliac artery. The code designation appears to be either a data error or a classification artifact, as the work actually being solicited spans administrative health benefits management, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than procedural interventions.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Firms evaluating this code should verify the actual procurement category before pursuing opportunities, as the current tagging does not support the code's nominal scope.
