This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511923 Bypass right external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with arterial bypass surgery.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant recent opportunities. The six recent postings — from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — represent broad-based government healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing services, not vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying signals suggests either systematic miscoding or limited market activity under the intended UNSPSC classification. Firms pursuing vascular surgical device or procedural contracts should verify the correct code assignment before committing resources to opportunities tagged 85511923.
