UNSPSC 85512105 Bypass right internal iliac artery to right femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at a granular level of specificity intended to classify individual surgical procedures. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch: the solicitations being tagged include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara). None of these opportunities involve bypass grafting procedures or vascular surgery procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county benefits administration, and county health systems—a broad range of public-sector buyers pursuing healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits services rather than surgical procedure procurement. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or an artificial inflation of activity under a code where genuine vascular surgery procurement volumes among state and local buyers are minimal or nonexistent.
