UNSPSC 85512508: Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal iliac arteries, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal iliac arteries, 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 04100ZC

UNSPSC 85512508 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal iliac arteries, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery or aortic bypass procedures. The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices, municipal employees' benefit administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation systems, county commissioners' offices, and regional health systems.

No recent state and local contract opportunities reflect procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope of aortic bypass surgery. The opportunities present in the source — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026) — represent healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health services, and staffing placement rather than surgical procedure procurement. This code appears to carry a tagging error in the source data or to be used as a catch-all for healthcare-related opportunities that fall outside its intended commodity definition, limiting its utility for tracking actual vascular surgery procurement at the state and local level.
