UNSPSC 85512237: Bypass left common iliac artery to celiac 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 celiac 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 041D0K1

UNSPSC 85512237 Bypass left common iliac artery to celiac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with this procedural code. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which match the narrow surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local health agencies tag medical services solicitations. State and local governments buying under this code—or misattributed to it—include city pension boards, county human resources and health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and independent school district health consortia; these entities solicit medical services ranging from routine occupational health compliance through specialty center-of-excellence networks and benefit plan administration.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide via the Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant jurisdictional concentration evident from the recent record. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (75 annual cases, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, and the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for a surgical benefits carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 plan members. The code shows active procurement velocity but exhibits persistent taxonomy misalignment—vendors pursuing work under 85512237 should expect to encounter administrative medical services, occupational health compliance, and benefits plan administration rather than the specific vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes.
