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 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 041H0KC

UNSPSC 85511920 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the six state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth—none of which involve the arterial bypass procedure the code purports to name. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement database or a structural gap between UNSPSC's procedural taxonomy and how state and local agencies classify medical services contracting.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting window are geographically distributed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no repeat buyers evident. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31). The code's recent activity reflects state and local demand for health services administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical procedures, making it an unreliable vehicle for vendors pursuing vascular surgery supply or service contracts.
