UNSPSC 85512520: Bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity artery 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 04100KQ

UNSPSC 85512520 Bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure (vascular bypass grafting), but the state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with that scope. The six recent solicitations include pension-board disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of the surgical procedure itself or direct implantable medical devices. The code appears misapplied to these opportunities; they reflect broader health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational medicine services rather than the orthopedic vascular surgery the UNSPSC name denotes.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no repeat buyers visible in the recent set. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with responses due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code does not reliably identify procurement opportunities relevant to vendors in the implantable medical device or surgical supply space.
