This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to abdominal aorta with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85512257 Bypass left common iliac artery to abdominal aorta with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations posted under this Commodity code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and the actual procurement activity. State and local buyers posting under this code include county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement systems (Phoenix), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems, but the diversity of medical and administrative services does not cohere around a vascular surgery procedure line.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but little relevance to vascular surgical procurement.
