UNSPSC 85511812 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but does not align with the work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or implantable medical devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure nomenclature and the medical-administration and staffing services actually posted suggests either a tagging error in the source or fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this particular jurisdiction or platform has classified these health-system procurements.

The six recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; Texas state juvenile probation), county governments (Collier County, Florida; Harris County, Texas; Santa Clara County, California), and cities (Phoenix and Long Beach). Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgery-benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's stated scope does not reflect the content of recent solicitations, business development professionals should verify actual commodity alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
