UNSPSC 85512231: Bypass left common iliac artery to left common iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to left common iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041D0K7

UNSPSC 85512231 Bypass left common iliac artery to left common iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a highly specific surgical procedure, but state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical intervention work — they reflect health benefit administration, occupational health monitoring, and clinical staffing services that fall outside the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities show state and local governments using this code tag to solicit independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, occupational medical surveillance for transportation employees, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, and temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, and public health systems. The code shows a sharp mismatch between its clinical procedural title and the administrative and occupational health services being procured — no recent opportunity involves the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent solicitations from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit Centers of Excellence carve-out program, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). The code's recent use by state and local purchasers appears incidental rather than systematic — the opportunities do not align with the code's intended taxonomy.
