This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity 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 041J4JQ

UNSPSC 85514123 Bypass left external iliac artery to lower extremity artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations under this code procure occupational health surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern the named vascular surgical procedure. State and local issuers posting under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county benefits administrators (Collier County), municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). The code appears to have been misapplied to a broad family of occupational health, employee benefits, and detention-facility healthcare procurements rather than reserved for specific surgical services.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in large metropolitan counties and municipal systems managing employee health benefits and occupational safety programs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) covering disability determination medical records and physician scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and option for five additional one-year extensions; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, RFP, due April 9, 2026, though this date has passed relative to today's date of October 20, 2026) covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending for 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. The code's recent activity reflects healthcare administration and occupational wellness procurement rather than surgical procedures, signaling a taxonomic misclassification in state and local systems.
