UNSPSC 85511845: Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous 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 venous 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 041J09Q

UNSPSC 85511845 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it diverge significantly from this clinical scope. The opportunities reflect instead a broad mix of healthcare administration and occupational medicine services: disability benefit medical record summary and examination coordination, surgical procedure carve-out benefit program management for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local buyers posting under this code include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and county health systems. The scope of actual work being solicited ranges from record compilation and physician scheduling to network management, claims processing, and temporary clinical staffing placement—none of which aligns with the code's nominal description of a vascular surgical procedure.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and apparent award anticipated by November 30, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated surgical procedure classification; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health-administration opportunities or an indexing error at the source.
