UNSPSC 85512203: Bypass left common iliac artery to left femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to left femoral 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 041D0ZJ

UNSPSC 85512203 Bypass left common iliac artery to left femoral artery, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, but the five recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or the clinical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests a tagging or classification error in the underlying procurement system rather than a legitimate market for this particular surgical intervention at the state and local level.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement offices administering employee benefits (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with no standout geographic concentration. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, the code shows little decision relevance for vendors pursuing orthopedic or vascular surgery services at the state and local level.
