UNSPSC 85512536: Bypass abdominal aorta to mesenteric 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 mesenteric 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 04100K2

UNSPSC 85512536 Bypass abdominal aorta to mesenteric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve aortic bypass procedures or surgical implants. State and local buying offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a default categorization for health-related services broadly, rather than for the specific vascular procedure the code names.

The issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county and state health departments, municipal retirement offices, and health systems across multiple states. Recent opportunities originated from Phoenix (independent disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit management, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread reflects scattered West Coast and South activity with no concentration pattern. Because the code shows no recent procurement for the vascular surgical procedure it names, pursuit under this UNSPSC designation carries high risk of miscommunication or misclassification with issuing bodies — vendors should verify the actual scope of work independently and confirm the correct code with procurement offices before bid preparation.
