UNSPSC 85511848: Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral 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 left femoral 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 041J09J

UNSPSC 85511848, Bypass left external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach (Commodity), maps to a code describing a specific surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not center on that procedure. Instead, issuing bodies across multiple states are using the code to solicit medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which align with the vascular surgery procedure the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the County of Santa Clara Health System, the City of Long Beach, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners have all posted opportunities under this code in recent months, but the work being solicited is administrative medical services, benefits program management, and staffing coordination rather than surgical interventions.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board disability evaluations), Washington (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), California (Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing and Long Beach surgical carve-out benefits), Texas (Harris County youth detention healthcare), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits significant mismatch between its surgical-procedure title and the administrative and benefits-management work state and local bodies are actually posting under it, suggesting either miscoding in the source data or a data-quality issue limiting the code's reliability for business development targeting.
