UNSPSC 85513509: Replacement of left external iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left external iliac artery with autologous tissue 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 04RJ47Z

UNSPSC 85513509 Replacement of left external iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the external iliac artery, yet the recent opportunities show no procurements for that surgical intervention. Instead, state and local buying under this code includes occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs managed through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services delivery for detained youth. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the procurement scope suggests that the code is being used to tag health services and medical administration broadly rather than to identify a discrete surgical procedure.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgery benefit carve-out program, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026; Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management, originally due April 9, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance with pre-bid August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County). The code shows no recent activity related to vascular surgical procedures and appears to have been misapplied to state and local health services procurement. Business development teams should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this Commodity number, as the procurement intent diverges substantially from the code's nominal scope.
