UNSPSC 85511843: Bypass left external iliac artery to left internal iliac 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 internal 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 041J0AB

UNSPSC 85511843 Bypass left external iliac artery to left internal iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; the opportunities posted against it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which align with arterial bypass surgery using autologous tissue. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health and medical services without granular classification. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington procuring administrative, clinical staffing, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures themselves.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large cities (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County), and a regional transit authority (Washington State Ferries). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract value), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extensions), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, for 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, no-guarantee multiple-award framework). The code shows substantive recent activity but no clear connection to its stated surgical procedure classification.
