UNSPSC 85512565: Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal 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 04100AC

UNSPSC 85512565 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral internal iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not reflect surgical implants or vascular bypass devices. Instead, the code appears misaligned with the work actually being procured: the recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the vascular procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). This code shows little relevant recent activity when evaluated against its stated scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest: Washington State, Arizona, California, and Texas. Recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's HR26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a specific vascular surgical procedure — and the actual medical administration, occupational health, and staffing services being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in source records or a significant drift in how this code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the specific work being requested in each solicitation rather than relying on the code name alone.
