UNSPSC 85512243: Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with synthetic 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 041D0JG

UNSPSC 85512243, Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities posted by state and local governments do not involve arterial bypass procedures or any surgical implant services. Instead, the code is being applied to medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. This mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the range of administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management work being tagged suggests the code is either incorrectly assigned in these solicitations or has been repurposed in practice to capture medical services procurement more broadly. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems. No clear pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent activity.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, $750,000 over five years, medical record review and physician examination scheduling); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry terminals, occupational medicine physician supervision required); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows activity under distinct service lines — medical record review and disability evaluation, occupational health surveillance, managed pharmacy benefits, and temporary clinical staffing — rather than coherent surgical procurement. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as a weak or misaligned signal and instead track opportunities by service function rather than UNSPSC code accuracy.
