UNSPSC 85512201: Bypass left common iliac artery to lower extremity artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common 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 041D0ZQ

UNSPSC 85512201 Bypass left common iliac artery to lower extremity artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a vascular bypass operation—but recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect health plan administration, occupational health compliance, staffing augmentation, and care-delivery logistics rather than the procurement or performance of the named surgical procedure itself.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-taxonomy misalignment that renders this code unreliable for business development targeting. State and local jurisdictions active in this code's recent opportunities—including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are buying administrative, staffing, and managed-care services, not vascular surgical procedures. No representative opportunities directly involve the procurement or contracting for bypass graft surgery itself. Until the code's application stabilizes or issuing bodies correct their taxonomic assignment, pursuit under this code as written carries high search and proposal-development waste risk.
