UNSPSC 85511945: Bypass right external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous 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 041H09Q

UNSPSC 85511945 Bypass right external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relationship to that clinical scope. The actual solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in state and local procurement systems or a data-quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged to UNSPSC codes.

The issuing bodies include mid-sized and large municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic concentration appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear standout repeat buyer among the six recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors in vascular surgery or related specialties.
