UNSPSC 85512321: Bypass right common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 041C0KK

UNSPSC 85512321 Bypass right common iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not align with surgical implant procurement. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. The scope of work actually being pursued centers on administrative and clinical support services—medical record review and scheduling, occupational health examinations, specialty surgery networks, pharmacy claims processing, temporary clinical staffing placement, and inpatient care coordination—rather than the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly to capture health service contracting more broadly, a common tagging challenge in state and local procurement where vendor systems may default to medical codes when health-related work is solicited.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 response date; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 due date and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence with an October 7, 2026 due date; and Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and an April 9, 2026 response date. The County of Santa Clara Health System is also soliciting a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline.
