UNSPSC 85511943: Bypass right external iliac artery to left internal iliac 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 internal iliac 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 041H0AB

UNSPSC 85511943 Bypass right external iliac artery to left internal iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under its classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty care coordination for detained youth—none of which involve the arterial bypass procedure the code names. This mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for vascular surgical procedures at the state and local level.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span multiple issuing bodies—county pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice (Harris County), county employee health plans (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara)—and involve medical management services, staffing, and benefits administration rather than direct surgical procedures. Geographic activity across the recent postings includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. This distribution and the nature of the opportunities suggest that the code's UNSPSC assignment may reflect a data entry or classification error, as state and local procurement for the specific vascular procedure named in the code's title is not evident in current activity.
