UNSPSC 85512103 Bypass right internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries, open approach is a Commodity code representing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with that narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader range of occupational health, medical evaluation, and healthcare administration services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out program management, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services, and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal description—a specific vascular surgical procedure—and the diverse health services and administrative functions being procured suggests the code may be misapplied or that state and local purchasing offices are using it as a catch-all for medical and health professional services outside traditional clinical procurement categories.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types: Arizona, Washington, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with a mix of city governments, counties, state departments, and health systems. Geographic concentration is not apparent across these recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP for disability determinations with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; and Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. The divergence between the code's stated procedure and the actual work being procured introduces ambiguity for pursuit decisions—whether this reflects systematic miscoding or a legitimate but poorly named category remains unclear from the source material alone.
