UNSPSC 85512269: Bypass left common iliac artery to left common iliac 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 left common iliac 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 041D0A7

UNSPSC 85512269 Bypass left common iliac artery to left common iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code identifying a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with vascular surgical techniques. Instead, the code is being applied to medical services procurement spanning disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The actual work being solicited involves independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, occupational medical examinations for transportation workers, Centers of Excellence networks for employee surgery benefits, PBM administration and formulary management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing across specialties including audiology, radiology, orthopedics, and surgical support. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and city human resources divisions—a mix spanning local pension boards, state agencies, regional health authorities, and county governments. This reflects a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a vascular surgical procedure) and the procurement activity actually tagged to it in state and local systems.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability determinations for public safety personnel with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The misalignment between the code's surgical nomenclature and the health services administration work being purchased suggests either systemic coding error or broad classification of health-related state and local procurement under this Commodity code.
