UNSPSC 85511942: Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac 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 internal iliac 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 041H0AC

UNSPSC 85511942, Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific vascular-surgery descriptor does not match the work actually posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency and specialty care delivery for detained youth — none of which involve the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources and probation departments, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits under an Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026, with contract anticipated to go live April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year base term and options to extend up to five additional years. The code appears to have been misapplied to these health services management and occupational health opportunities rather than to actual surgical procedure procurement by state and local bodies.
