This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511906 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procedure procurement. Instead, the code sees activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the vascular surgery procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systemic labeling issue within this code's usage. Across the six recent opportunities, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and health benefit consortiums are soliciting health services administration and occupational health support rather than surgical procedures or implants.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation due October 7, 2026; Collier County, Florida's pharmacy benefit management RFP), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's emergency and specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026). The code shows no meaningful activity in vascular surgery supply, surgical implants, or procedural equipment — the commodities nominally described by the code name — and representatives should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity for surgical-product vendors.
