This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries, 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 041H0ZC

UNSPSC 85511909 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to vascular surgery or any surgical intervention. The opportunities posted under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans — none of which involve the named vascular bypass procedure. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied to general medical and health services procurement. State and local issuing bodies—including city retirement offices, county health systems, transit authorities, and county procurement divisions—are posting opportunities under this code, but the work being solicited does not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical technique.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows no coherent purchasing pattern and does not appear to be reliably tagged for state and local procurement activity related to vascular surgery or the specific procedure named in the code descriptor.
