This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to left external iliac 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 041009F

UNSPSC 85512582 Bypass abdominal aorta to left external iliac artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical examinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for centers of excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for youth in detention — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact rather than an active procurement category. No state or local opportunities identified in the source material are actually soliciting vascular surgical implants, grafts, or related procedural services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data quality issue in the classification of these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between how the UNSPSC taxonomy is applied in practice at these jurisdictions and what is actually being purchased. State and local buyers across multiple regions — Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — are using this code to tag health services contracting, benefits administration, and staffing procurement, none of which falls within the vascular surgery commodity category. A vendor pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope directly from the RFP rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation.
