UNSPSC 85512341 Bypass right common iliac artery to left femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal classification—a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure—shows little alignment with the actual state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities listed under this code span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, implants, or the procedural construct the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), counties (Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). This code appears to have been misapplied in state and local procurement systems; the recent opportunities do not reflect the code's surgical scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix pension disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy), and Texas (Harris County youth detention medical services). No representative recent opportunities under this code map to its stated surgical procedure scope, making the code a poor indicator of actual purchasing activity or contractor opportunity in state and local procurement.
