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 041H0KB

UNSPSC 85511921 Bypass right external iliac artery to left internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows substantial mismatch between its procedural surgical code designation and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve vascular bypass procedures; instead, they represent health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, and clinical staffing services that fall outside the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach seeks surgical care carve-out management through Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is seeking emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve the vascular surgical procedure named in the code.

State and local issuers in the recent block span city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county governments (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), and state agencies (Washington Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural classification; the opportunities present reflect how state and local procurement systems sometimes apply surgical or medical procedure codes to broader healthcare administration and staffing contracts that do not match the code's clinical specificity. Business development professionals should clarify with issuing bodies whether procurement tags reflect actual work scope or represent administrative coding artifacts before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
