UNSPSC 85512544: Bypass abdominal aorta to left external iliac artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to left external iliac artery with synthetic 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 04100JF

UNSPSC 85512544 Bypass abdominal aorta to left external iliac artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted since late July 2026 do not solicit this specific surgical procedure or related implantable devices; instead, they reflect state and local governments' actual purchasing under this code's taxonomy classification: occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit administration, health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, with no single repeat buyer appearing more than once in the recent set.

Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with solicitations posted in August and September 2026 and response dates clustering in October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a $750,000 five-year maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (258414, due April 9, 2026) managing pharmacy programs for approximately 7,200 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending. The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for health services administration and medical program management rather than as a procurement vehicle for the specific aortic bypass procedure its name describes.
