UNSPSC 85512579: Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with autologous venous 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 041009J

UNSPSC 85512579 Bypass abdominal aorta to left femoral artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which correspond to the code's stated procedure descriptor. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source systems or that this code is being repurposed for broader medical administration and benefit management services rather than the specific vascular surgical intervention the code name indicates.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a large municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (County of Santa Clara), a county probation department (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most substantive recent solicitations being the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, for a $750,000 five-year contract), and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending). The code shows activity across different procurement vehicles — RFPs for specialized services and staffing qualification pools — but the underlying work does not track to vascular surgery procurement.
