UNSPSC 85512015: Bypass left internal iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041F0KJ

UNSPSC 85512015 Bypass left internal iliac artery to left femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal medical procedure description. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension and disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are diverse — state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments and health systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach) — with no clear concentration of repeat buyers. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical specificity and the actual procurement scope signals either systematic miscoding at the source or a data classification error that warrants clarification before treating this code as actionable.

Recent activity spans multiple geographies and service lines without meaningful focus. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026, requiring board certification in occupational medicine and 24/7 technical support. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution anticipated for April 2027. Given the procedural code label does not reflect the actual work being purchased, this category should be treated as a low-priority watch pending clarification of the classification intent.
