UNSPSC 85511955: Bypass right external iliac artery to right internal iliac 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 right internal iliac 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 041H099

UNSPSC 85511955, Bypass right external iliac artery to right internal iliac artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal surgical scope. Instead, the code is being applied to occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for medical services procurement across diverse issuing bodies, rather than procurement of the specific procedure itself.

The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (Phoenix), county commissioners (Collier County), juvenile detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities cluster in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with geographic concentration highest in the Southwest and West Coast. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows no clear thematic coherence with the vascular procedure it nominally describes, and the mixed procurement activity suggests limited utility for business development targeting under its stated commodity definition.
