UNSPSC 85512020: Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries 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 bilateral internal iliac arteries 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 041F0KC

UNSPSC 85512020 Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities posted against this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the specific arterial bypass work the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for clinical services work that falls outside the true scope of this taxonomy entry.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and represent issuance by municipal retirement boards, county human resources and health authorities, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 under RFP RTMRFP26001; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance with a due date of October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Commissioners sought pharmacy benefit management services (though the posted due date of April 9, 2026 predates the source publication date, indicating a data-quality issue). The wide divergence between the code's nominal vascular-surgery scope and the actual clinical administrative and occupational health services being procured suggests this code requires correction or clarification in the state and local procurement systems where it is being applied.
