UNSPSC 85511817 Bypass left external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not involve vascular surgery or medical device implants. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, Center of Excellence surgical benefit administration, specialty pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch reflects a cataloging error in state and local procurement systems rather than genuine buying activity in the surgical procedure category. Issuing bodies posting under this code include city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions — a fragmented mix with no repeat buyers evident in recent postings.

Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) accepting proposals in 13 clinical categories; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026, now closed) managing $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending for 2,400 enrolled employees. This code shows little relevant procurement activity and represents a poor fit for surgical procedure vendors.
