UNSPSC 85512027: Bypass left internal iliac artery to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to right femoral 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 041F0JH

UNSPSC 85512027 Bypass left internal iliac artery to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under the code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which describe vascular bypass procedures. The code appears to be systematically misapplied by issuing bodies to tag healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services rather than orthopedic or vascular surgical work.

Opportunities originate from a mix of state health systems, county human-resources and procurement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vascular surgery procurement; business development effort should focus on the actual service categories being tagged—healthcare staffing, occupational medicine, benefits administration, and medical evaluations—rather than assuming procedural-surgery demand.
