This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common iliac artery to bilateral external iliac 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 041C0KG

UNSPSC 85512324 Bypass right common iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, which falls within the clinical scope of medical services; however, state and local buyers do not procure individual surgical procedures as line items or contract deliverables.

Recent state and local opportunities tagged under or near this code reflect instead medical staffing, occupational surveillance, benefits management, and administrative medical support services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual scope of state and local contracting under it suggests either inconsistent code assignment in source databases or a fundamental misalignment between clinical procedure taxonomy and government purchasing practice. Vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in medical services should verify the actual scope of work through the RFP or RFQ itself rather than relying on UNSPSC code alignment alone.
