UNSPSC 85512524: Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral external iliac arteries 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 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 04100KG

UNSPSC 85512524 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that designates a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the surgical implant or procedure-supply scope the code nominates. Instead, the opportunities posted against this code reflect a broad range of health services procurement—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations span occupational health compliance, employee health plan administration, clinical staffing, and public health operations rather than vascular surgical devices or implant supply. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissioners' offices (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). No single issuing body appears more than once in the recent activity.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities includes Washington State, Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration evident. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026, which emphasizes board-certified occupational medicine physicians and regulatory compliance; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award solicitation (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The code assignment appears to be a data-quality or tagging error; the code's nominal scope—a specific abdominal aortic bypass procedure with synthetic graft—bears no relationship to the health services being solicited.
