This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85512259 Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities show no vascular surgical procedure procurement; instead, issuing bodies are tagging unrelated medical services and staffing under this code, including occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency healthcare for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific arterial bypass surgical procedure) and the actual work posted suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to encompass broader medical services administration that does not align with its UNSPSC definition.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or service line. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. Given the disjunction between the code definition and posted opportunities, firms pursuing these solicitations should verify the actual commodity code in the full RFP documents rather than relying on the 85512259 tag.
