UNSPSC 85511936: Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, 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 041H0AK

UNSPSC 85511936 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgery or surgical procedure procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and employee health benefit programs. The scope mismatch indicates that this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the tagging reflects a data quality issue rather than genuine demand for the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large city employee health benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county employee benefits consortia (Collier County). None of these solicitations target surgical procedure procurement or vascular surgery services.

Recent opportunities show demand for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP, due October 16, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Ferries RFP, due October 9, 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, due October 7, 2026), and surgical benefit carve-out programs with Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach, due October 7, 2026). Activity appears concentrated in California and the Pacific Northwest, with additional municipal-level buyers in Arizona and Florida. The code shows no credible recent activity for the specific vascular surgical procedure it nominally describes, suggesting it warrants deprioritization or code reassignment in vendor pursuit strategies targeting state and local healthcare procurement.
