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 041H0AD

UNSPSC 85511941 Bypass right external iliac artery to right external iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span a misaligned mix of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical care coordination — none of which correspond to the specific vascular surgical intervention the code names. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, municipal pension boards, and county juvenile probation departments. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all tag for medical services procurement rather than for the surgical procedure itself, creating noise in the taxonomy.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted a solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence networks due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope and appears misclassified across the opportunities listed.
