UNSPSC 85511807 Bypass left external iliac artery to left external iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical procedure procurement but instead covers occupational and disability medical evaluation services, health plan benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting suggests either miscoding in source records or that this UNSPSC category has limited applicability to state and local contracting. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county commissioners' offices, reflecting a mix of administrative healthcare procurement, occupational health surveillance, and public sector benefits management rather than acquisition of surgical procedures themselves.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001). The City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). Given the procedural mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured, the code appears to see limited relevant state and local activity.
