UNSPSC 85512585: Bypass abdominal aorta to left internal iliac 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 internal 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 041009B

UNSPSC 85512585 Bypass abdominal aorta to left internal iliac artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity; the code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to vascular surgery or bypass grafting. The opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit program administration through Centers of Excellence, occupational health surveillance services, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of vascular surgical procedures or the anatomical specificity it describes. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the opportunities database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous medical and healthcare services rather than as a descriptor of the narrow vascular surgical procedure named.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city employees' benefits program (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county government HR and benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara) — representing the full span of state and local healthcare procurement. Geographic activity appears spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant concentration. Given the evident misclassification, business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service classification before pursuing opportunities in this code; the current tagging does not reliably identify surgical procedure procurement or vascular surgery contracting.
