UNSPSC 85511904 Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to classify a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under 85511904 instead reflect a broad range of occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which represent the specific vascular surgical procedure the code name describes. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging misalignment or that the code has been repurposed in practice to cover a wider family of medical services. State and local issuers posting under this code include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The opportunities span health benefit administration, occupational medicine compliance, emergency and specialty care procurement, and clinical staffing support rather than surgical procedure provision or coding.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific regions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years and responses due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for a surgical carve-out benefit program with an anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 statewide locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and the County of Santa Clara Health System also posted opportunity notices seeking specialty medical and temporary staffing services. The code shows no relevant recent activity to state and local procurement of the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes.
