UNSPSC 85511922 Bypass right external iliac artery to right internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which are vascular bypass surgeries or implantable medical devices. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical definition and the breadth of health services solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health-service opportunities.

The geographic and issuing-body mix shows activity across state health agencies, county human resources departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal under its stated scope; pursuit should be based on whether your firm's actual services align with the health services categories described in individual opportunities rather than on the code itself.
