This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left external iliac artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 04RJ4JZ

UNSPSC 85513508 Replacement of left external iliac artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve the procurement or delivery of the named procedure itself. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local procurement offices appear to be using this surgical procedure code to classify broader healthcare service and staffing acquisitions, creating a categorical mismatch rather than a meaningful market signal for vascular surgery contracting.

The six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and city bodies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring), and Santa Clara County Health System's open-ended multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, five-year qualified list with no guaranteed volume). The divergence between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity suggests that business development professionals should not rely on this code as a reliable category signal for pursuits.
