UNSPSC 85514217: Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous 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 041H4KG

UNSPSC 85514217, Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral external iliac arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit surgical implants, grafts, or vascular interventions. Instead, the recent postings span independent medical evaluation services, health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the procurement or supply of vascular surgical devices or the performance of the coded procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either that state and local procurement offices are applying the code inconsistently or that the code has been misapplied to these opportunities.

The recent activity does not support a meaningful characterization of buying patterns, issuing-body concentration, or geographic spread under this code. No state or local solicitation in the source is actually procuring vascular bypass grafts, synthetic vascular substitutes, or related implantable devices. Firms pursuing vascular surgical device or implant supply contracts under state and local government procurement should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing these opportunities, as the code's current application appears to reflect administrative tagging errors rather than genuine demand for the commodity described.
