UNSPSC 85511847: Bypass left external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries 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 bilateral femoral arteries 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 041J09K

UNSPSC 85511847 Bypass left external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the named vascular bypass procedure. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county purchasing divisions. The work actually being solicited spans occupational health screening, disability benefit medical record review and coordination, pharmacy network administration, Centers of Excellence coordination for elective surgery, and temporary clinical staffing placement across ancillary specialties.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026, RFP RTMRFP26001). The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program offering pre- and post-care coordination for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026, RFP HR26753). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is seeking occupational medical surveillance services including baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard and vessel crew across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, IFB RFP20260825 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and therapy services (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle RFSQHHSFY270052). The code shows a mismatch between its surgical-procedure nomenclature and the administrative healthcare and occupational health services actually being procured under it.
