UNSPSC 85511834: Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 041J0AQ

UNSPSC 85511834 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect vascular surgical services. The opportunities posted instead solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital emergency and specialty care for detained youth. The code shows misalignment between its nominal scope and the work actually being tagged by issuing bodies. Among the opportunities cited, only the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out proposal involves surgical procedures at all, and that solicitation addresses elective orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology surgery through Centers of Excellence networks rather than vascular bypass surgery. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose health systems spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

No recent state or local procurement opportunities directly solicit vascular bypass surgical services, autologous arterial grafts, or related surgical supply and execution under this code. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the most substantial recent activity tagged to this code, but neither involves surgical procedures. Given the code's technical specification and the absence of matching solicitation activity, this code presents minimal relevance to surgical service or medical device vendors serving state and local procurement.
