UNSPSC 85512718: Supplement right internal iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right internal iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 04UE37Z

UNSPSC 85512718 Supplement right internal iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular repair using the patient's own tissue — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular surgery or surgical procedures at all. The six recent solicitations instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, employee benefits management, and general clinical staffing, none of which align with the code's nominal scope of percutaneous arterial reconstruction. The issuing bodies are diverse: county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), city retirement and pension boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal benefits administrators (Long Beach). The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

The misalignment between code definition and actual procurement activity signals that this UNSPSC code is either a cataloging artifact or has been applied inconsistently by jurisdictions entering these opportunities. Firms evaluating whether to pursue activity under 85512718 should treat the code itself as unreliable for targeting purposes. The actual work being solicited — employee benefits administration, occupational health screening, disability evaluation coordination, and clinical temp staffing — falls under different commodity codes governing health administrative services and staffing. A representative recent opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026, covering disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. Another is the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026, requiring supervision by a physician board-certified in occupational medicine and a two-year initial contract term with up to five one-year extension options.
