UNSPSC 85512209 Bypass left common iliac artery to left internal iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (vascular bypass grafting); the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves the surgical procedure the code nominates. State and local issuing bodies are using the code to classify health services, benefits administration, and staffing support that have no connection to vascular surgery. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic misapplication of the code by state and local procurement offices.

The recent activity does signal active procurement across multiple jurisdictions for health-related services and benefits administration. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix (disability medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit administration), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs due October 7, 2026 with contract go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; and WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with cost-based evaluation and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The code itself does not meaningfully reflect the actual work being solicited and should not be used for targeting state and local opportunities in health services.
