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 410098

UNSPSC 85512587 Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral common iliac arteries with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no relationship to the specific vascular surgery named in the code—instead they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code does not reflect actual work being procured. State and local buying under this code number covers a disparate mix of healthcare administrative and staffing services rather than the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names, suggesting either a tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or a semantic mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how individual procurement offices apply it to healthcare service categories.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), city retirement boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal government (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County). Recent opportunities posted include the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, oncology) due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the code's lack of semantic alignment with actual procurement activity, this code warrants caution: opportunities posted under it may reflect internal classification errors rather than a coherent market segment.
