This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right external iliac artery, 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 047H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511550 Dilation of right external iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little relevant activity aligned with this clinical scope. The code appears to capture a narrow, procedure-specific medical intervention; however, the recent solicitations in the dataset—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent procurement of administrative healthcare services, staffing arrangements, and benefits management rather than direct provision of vascular surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems. State and local governments do not typically solicit standalone surgical procedures through competitive procurements tagged to this code; instead, they contract for healthcare delivery networks, staffing, claims administration, and medical examination services through larger institutional purchasing vehicles.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The representative opportunities—Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026)—illustrate that current state and local procurement activity under this code does not match its nominal surgical-procedure designation. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing minimal relevant recent opportunity for direct surgical services; the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual purchasing activity suggests the code is either misconfigured in the source data or rarely used for state and local health procurements.
