UNSPSC 85512274: Bypass left common iliac artery to mesenteric 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 mesenteric 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 041D0A2

UNSPSC 85512274 Bypass left common iliac artery to mesenteric artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet state and local governments are not soliciting this medical procedure itself under this code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with this code reflect procurement of occupational and disability medical evaluation services, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for government employee health plans. The actual work being bought involves independent medical examinations, record review and summarization, occupational health surveillance, and administration of Centers of Excellence networks for elective procedures — administrative and clinical support services rather than the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the tagging or a material misalignment between the code's scope and how state and local procurement offices are actually deploying it.

The issuing bodies include county health systems and pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System), city employee benefits departments (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a county human resources division (Collier County). Recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) solicits baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals under supervision of a board-certified occupational medicine physician. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications annually (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years). The City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical carve-out benefit manager for Centers of Excellence covering knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 plan members (due October 7, 2026, contract start April 1, 2027). No clear repeat buyers or geographic concentration pattern emerges from these six opportunities. The code shows low recent activity and poor semantic fit with the actual services being procured.
