This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral external iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, 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 04100AG

UNSPSC 85512562, Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral external iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not source that procedure. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — a broad array of healthcare administration and service delivery work bearing no relationship to aortic bypass grafting. State and local governments are not procuring or contracting for the surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a city health system (City of Long Beach), reflecting a mix of administrative health programs, workforce occupational health, and public safety retirement medical services.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and California, with solicitations from Arizona, Florida, and Washington state. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001). The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management covering approximately 3,800 plan members with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually. Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope and appears to be a taxonomic misclassification across multiple state and local opportunities.
