This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511804, Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The most-recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the procurement or delivery of a specific arterial bypass procedure. State and local governments do not typically solicit or purchase individual surgical procedures through competitive procurement; instead, they contract for medical staffing, benefit administration, or care management services delivered through health systems or networks. The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the nature of actual state and local health-care contracting suggests this code does not reflect current purchasing patterns in the jurisdiction universe.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems — a broad cross-section of public employers and health authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code.
