This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right internal iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial 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 041E0AJ

UNSPSC 85512137 Bypass right internal iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows no procurement alignment with its nominal scope as a cardiovascular surgical procedure code. The source contains six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, but only one — Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth — involves clinical care delivery; the remainder cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities solicit the specific arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include county health systems and juvenile justice departments, plus municipal retirement boards and city health benefits offices — a mix of operational healthcare delivery and administrative benefits contracting. State and local governments do not currently appear to be procuring arterial bypass services through this code channel.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County). No recent opportunities in the source material actually solicit vascular surgical procedures. The code shows no meaningful alignment between its UNSPSC taxonomy label and the work state and local governments are actively buying. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify the source data and consider whether the code has been misapplied in the underlying procurement systems rather than assume current demand for the procedure itself.
