UNSPSC 85511855: Bypass left external iliac artery to right internal iliac 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 right internal iliac 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 041J099

UNSPSC 85511855 Bypass left external iliac artery to right internal iliac artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful relationship to vascular surgery. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these solicitations involve the bypass procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipalities, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county boards of commissioners, and county health systems—a mix of administrative, operational, and clinical public entities. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunities suggests this code shows little relevant activity for vascular surgery procurement at the state and local level. The opportunities tagged under 85511855 appear to reflect data-entry or classification errors rather than legitimate market demand for the specific surgical procedure the code describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for practical procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any vascular surgery products or services before pursuing state and local contracts in this domain.
