This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries 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 041J0KC

UNSPSC 85511820 "Bypass left external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity appearing in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under it involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, and pediatric detention facility medical services. These are administrative health care services and staffing arrangements, not surgical implant procedures or operative interventions matching the code's specification.

State and local government buyers posting opportunities under this code include county health systems, county human resources and benefits divisions, state departments of transportation, city pension boards, county juvenile justice authorities, and county health care consortiums. Recent solicitations originate from Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries division), the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, Collier County (Florida), Harris County (Texas), and Santa Clara County (California). The code shows scattered geographic activity across multiple states with no concentration pattern; the misalignment between the code's surgical focus and the actual scope of posted work suggests either systematic miscoding in the source material or a data quality issue within the state and local procurement taxonomy. The mismatch is substantial enough that the code does not provide a reliable signal for suppliers of surgical devices or cardiovascular implants seeking state and local opportunities.
