UNSPSC 85512258: Bypass left common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 041D0AQ

UNSPSC 85512258, Bypass left common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to vascular surgery. The code shows substantial mismatch between its technical name and actual buying activity. State and local government solicitations tagged under this code are requesting medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with performance of arterial bypass grafting procedures. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging or tagging error in how jurisdictions are classifying their health-care and benefits procurement, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical and surgical benefit administration rather than reflecting the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county procurement offices (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations for public safety personnel (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefit program for city employees (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured, state and local activity under this code warrants skepticism about relevance to surgical-services vendors.
