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 041D0JC

UNSPSC 85512246 Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code bears no substantive relation to vascular bypass surgery. The opportunities posted under this code instead reflect health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the procedural specification embedded in the code name. This represents a clear mismatch between the code's technical medical descriptor and the actual procurement activity state and local governments are pursuing under it, suggesting either a systematic coding error in the source data or the code's misapplication to unrelated health service categories.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no coherent thematic connection to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out networks and Centers of Excellence management; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) is procuring pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. Given the disconnect between the code's stated surgical procedure and the administrative and staffing services actually being sought, this code does not serve as a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity for firms pursuing vascular surgery or implant-related contracts.
