UNSPSC 85512339: Bypass right common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic 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 041C0JQ

UNSPSC 85512339 Bypass right common iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with that clinical service line—they instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve the procurement of the named surgical procedure or related implants and supplies. The apparent mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic mis-tagging of opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are classifying health services contracts.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city procurement bureau (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County)—but none directly solicit surgical devices, implants, or the specific bypass procedure named in the code. Without opportunities that genuinely match the code's intended scope, pursuing business under UNSPSC 85512339 would require first clarifying whether state and local agencies are actually buying this service line and, if so, whether they are applying the code correctly in their solicitations.
