UNSPSC 85511937: Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery 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 left femoral artery 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 041H0AJ

UNSPSC 85511937 Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement for that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities represent a mismatch between code assignment and actual scope. The City of Phoenix is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under its public safety pension system, the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures), the Washington State Department of Transportation is purchasing occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, Harris County is seeking specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services, 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 vascular bypass grafting, arterial reconstruction, or the autologous tissue procedures the code nominally describes.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The issuing bodies span county governments, state departments, and large health system entities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but their procurement needs under this code assignment are primarily administrative healthcare services—medical evaluation coordination, benefits management, occupational health programs, and staffing—rather than surgical supplies, devices, or procedures. Vendors evaluating this code should recognize the disconnect and assess whether the mismatch reflects a systematic coding error in a particular jurisdiction's procurement system or indicates that this code is not a reliable predictor of actual state and local buying patterns in the current market.
