UNSPSC 85512284 Bypass left common iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The code appears to be misapplied across a range of health-administration and clinical staffing procurements, indicating either a data-classification error or systemic use of an incorrect taxonomy code by multiple issuing bodies.

The jurisdictions posting under this code include county health systems and boards (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city health-plan administrators (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension applications (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million historical annual spend); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no alignment with its stated surgical procedure scope and warrants clarification before treating it as a reliable procurement signal for vascular surgery services or related supplies.
