UNSPSC 85511729 Bypass left femoral artery to lower extremity vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical categories. These opportunities span administrative medical services, occupational health compliance, employee health benefits contracting, and clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal description of a surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and juvenile probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and municipal human resources and benefits functions (City of Long Beach). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The recent opportunities geographically include Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure label and the administrative, occupational health, and staffing services actually being solicited suggests this code may have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or that the code taxonomy does not adequately capture the scope of health services procurement at the state and local level.
