UNSPSC 85512208 Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure nomenclature used in medical billing and clinical classification systems; the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect employment-related medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or procedural interventions. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a data-tagging error or use of the code to broadly classify health-related professional services without regard to clinical specificity. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, and staffing contracts that do not involve the operative procedure the code nominates.

Recent opportunities under this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) is procuring a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program; the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, requests occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) is procuring pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicits temporary health professional staffing. Response dates across these opportunities cluster in September and October 2026. No bid represents the surgical procedure the code nominates. Vendors evaluating this code should confirm scope alignment with the specific issuing body before pursuing, as the code's technical designation bears minimal relationship to the health services, staffing, and benefit administration work actually being bought.
