UNSPSC 85512548: Bypass abdominal aorta to right internal 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 right internal 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 04100J9

UNSPSC 85512548 Bypass abdominal aorta to right internal iliac artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a vascular bypass graft — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve the procurement of vascular surgical supplies, devices, or implants that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the code's scope and current buying practice under it. Absent opportunities actually soliciting vascular bypass grafts or related implantable devices — which would be the expected procurement activity under this Commodity code — the code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors in the surgical device or vascular implant space.
