UNSPSC 85512101: Bypass right internal iliac artery to lower extremity artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right internal iliac artery to lower extremity artery, 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 041E0ZQ

The UNSPSC Commodity code 85512101, "Bypass right internal iliac artery to lower extremity artery, open approach," does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the opportunities tagged to it encompass medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the named surgical procedure. This reflects a systematic mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it in practice.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing services rather than discrete surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) seeks a surgical carve-out benefit administrator managing Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) is gathering information on inpatient and specialty healthcare for detained youth; Collier County (RFP 25-8414) seeks pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and local health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows active recent procurement activity, but the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and ancillary clinical services, not the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally names.
