This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to left external iliac 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 041J0AF

UNSPSC 85511840 Bypass left external iliac artery to left external iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect surgical services matching that description. Instead, the recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedure carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the surgical vascular procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health benefit programs (Long Beach), county human resources divisions (Collier County), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and regional health authorities. This code shows substantial tagging misalignment and does not represent a coherent procurement category for vascular surgical services.

Recent opportunities across multiple states reveal the code's actual state and local use bears no meaningful relationship to its nominal scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical record summarization and independent medical examinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for employee health plans (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, radiology, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County procured pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical spend around $8.7 million annually. The code's nominal scope — a specific open surgical vascular bypass procedure — does not appear in any recent state or local solicitation. Vendors should verify code alignment with actual requirements before pursuing opportunities tagged to this Commodity designation.
