UNSPSC 85514222: Bypass right external iliac artery to right internal iliac artery 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 right internal iliac artery 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 041H4K9

UNSPSC 85514222 "Bypass right external iliac artery to right internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care management — none of which are vascular surgical procedures or implant-related procurements. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual medical services and staffing work being purchased suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how the issuing bodies are classifying their health care service purchases.

The issuing bodies using this code span city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and regional health authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — a diverse mix without a clear geographic concentration. A representative opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) for ferry system workers, due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's open-ended qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052), due October 7, 2026, further illustrate the range of administrative medical services being purchased — none of which align with the code's stated vascular surgical focus.
