UNSPSC 85511815: Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 041J0KJ

UNSPSC 85511815 Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. The code has generated solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which map directly to the vascular bypass procedure named in the code descriptor. State and local issuers using this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and regional health consortia. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured suggests either miscoding within state and local procurement systems or systematic misapplication of this Commodity code to a broad family of health services.

The most recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas with no concentration in a single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability record review and scheduling of occupational medical and psychiatric examinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026) requiring board certification in occupational medicine and multi-site examination coordination; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026) managing Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, and specialty procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but appears to function as a catch-all tag for diverse health services procurement rather than a precise descriptor of vascular surgical procedures.
