UNSPSC 85511918: Bypass right external iliac artery to left external iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to left external iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041H0KF

UNSPSC 85511918 Bypass right external iliac artery to left external iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit for bypass surgery supplies, devices, or procedural services, but instead for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the actual work being solicited suggests a taxonomy classification misalignment in the state and local procurement systems submitting these opportunities.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, issued by city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and juvenile probation departments. Activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgery benefit carve-out program administration (due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). No active procurement under this code targets the surgical procedure or device supply that the Commodity designation implies; therefore, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
