UNSPSC 85511914 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope—instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code does not capture a coherent or recurring product or service line that state and local governments are actively buying; the mismatch between the code's technical vascular-procedure nomenclature and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either systematic mis-tagging or a code poorly suited to state and local procurement activity.

The opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record summary and evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical carve-out benefit management for its Anthem PPO, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, effective term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028). The County of Santa Clara Health System is also soliciting a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code shows no coherent recent purchasing pattern and warrants skip status unless the issuing source corrects the tagging.
