This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries, open approach.

UNSPSC 85512202 Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve vascular bypass surgery; instead, they reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and health professional staffing services. State and local health systems, county retirement offices, and transit authorities are using this code to solicit broad health and medical services, suggesting a potential data-entry mismatch or overly broad categorization in the tagging process. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards (Phoenix), county health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach). These buyers appear to be consolidating medical services procurement across administrative, occupational, and clinical domains rather than purchasing specific surgical procedures.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in California and Arizona, with Washington State and Texas also represented. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability assessments for approximately 75 annual public safety personnel applications with a $750,000 five-year ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) providing baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations statewide; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering Centers of Excellence networks for specialized procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code activity does not reflect the vascular surgery specificity its number suggests; pursuit would require clarification with issuing bodies on whether procurement is mislabeled or whether this code has been adopted as an administrative catch-all for health services that do not fit elsewhere.
