UNSPSC 85512047: Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries 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 041F09K

UNSPSC 85512047 Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no connection to the procurement of that procedure itself. Instead, the code has been applied to a broad range of health service administration and staffing solicitations—medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and actual buying activity suggests the code is being misapplied in state and local databases, or that the opportunities have been incorrectly tagged. The concrete work being solicited encompasses independent medical disability evaluations, occupational physician examinations, surgical center-of-excellence network management, pharmacy claims administration, and ancillary clinical staffing placement—none of which align with procurement of the specified vascular bypass procedure or procurement of surgical implants, devices, or operative services generally.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent solicitations from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The purchasing mix includes county and state health agencies, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments. Because the code shows persistent misalignment with the opportunities posted under it, pursuit should be informed by direct verification of actual scope of work rather than reliance on the code name.
