UNSPSC 85511837: Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral 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 left femoral 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 041J0AJ

UNSPSC 85511837 Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no actual solicitations for this vascular surgery service. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit administration — none of which align with the code's stated procedure scope. The mismatch indicates that this code has little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing vascular surgery contracting with state and local buyers, or that procurement offices are misclassifying medical services and benefit administration work under an inappropriately specific procedural code.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with work spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent activity includes the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery or the procedure named in the code; the apparent misclassification creates no actionable procurement signal for vascular surgery vendors.
