This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic 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 041F0JQ

UNSPSC 85512023 Bypass left internal iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying. The recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the specific bypass operation the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a systemic issue with how this code is being applied in state and local sourcing systems.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee-benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state dominating. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out networks (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (deadline April 9, 2026 — a past-date posting). The code shows recent activity but with little coherence to the surgical-procedure nomenclature; pursuit decisions should factor the classification disconnect when evaluating fit.
