UNSPSC 85511838 Bypass left external iliac artery to right femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a highly specific surgical procedure title, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under it are actually purchasing occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with vascular surgery performed in operating rooms. The code mismatch signals that state and local procurement systems are applying this Commodity code inconsistently or incorrectly to broader healthcare contracting activity. Actual work being solicited spans occupational medicine examinations (baseline, periodic, and exit evaluations for maritime workers), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, Center of Excellence surgical networks offering bundled care for orthopedic and specialty procedures on a voluntary basis, pharmacy claims administration and formulary management, acute and specialty inpatient care for youth in detention, and on-call ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, respiratory care, imaging, operating room support).

Recent opportunities originate from Washington State (occupational surveillance for state ferries), Arizona (municipal pension boards), California (county health systems and municipalities), Florida (county human resources departments), and Texas (county juvenile justice), with no single issuing body appearing more than once. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued a pre-bid medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence program with questions due September 9, 2026 and target go-live April 1, 2027; Collier County issued a pharmacy benefit management RFP for an initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing due October 7, 2026. This code shows no coherent recent procurement pattern and warrants verification against actual buying intent before resource investment.
