UNSPSC 85511801 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to vascular surgery — the tagged opportunities instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The code does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in state and local markets. State and local governments are not procuring surgical bypass procedures through standard RFP channels; the tagging of these opportunities under a surgical-procedure code appears to be a classification error that does not align with the commodity taxonomy's intended purpose.

The recent opportunities span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and Santa Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with response dates ranging from April 2026 through July 2025. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison due May 15, 2026, Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP due April 16, 2026. The geographic spread includes Georgia and Florida (multiple counties), California, and scattered single opportunities elsewhere. No coherent procurement signal exists under this code for business development purposes; vendors should verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
