UNSPSC 85511823: Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic 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 041J0JQ

UNSPSC 85511823 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for surgical implants, medical devices, or related procedure-specific supplies. Instead, the five recent opportunities solicited under this code span medical staffing, benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, and pharmacy management services—work entirely unrelated to vascular surgery or medical devices. The mismatch indicates that this code carries little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing vascular surgery supplies, implants, or procedure-focused medical-device contracts at the state and local level.

The five opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (a medical services RFI for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualification pool). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. None of these procurements address the code's stated scope—a vascular surgical procedure—suggesting the UNSPSC categorization does not align with actual state and local buying patterns under this code, or the code has been misapplied to opportunities in ancillary healthcare administration and staffing rather than procedure-specific medical device or implant supply.
