UNSPSC 85514231: Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with synthetic 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 internal iliac arteries 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 041H4JC

UNSPSC 85514231 Bypass right external iliac artery to bilateral internal iliac arteries with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The six most recent opportunities—spanning the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—address medical administration, benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and staffing placement rather than any specific surgical procedure or implant. The code's technical name refers to a discrete vascular surgical technique that does not appear in any of the solicitations reviewed.

The mismatch suggests the code carries little relevance for vendors pursuing state and local procurement opportunities in this procurement category. State and local bodies are instead buying comprehensive medical services—record summarization and examination coordination, centers of excellence networks for elective procedures, occupational health compliance programs, emergency and specialty care delivery, pharmacy administration, and clinical staffing placement. Vendors targeting state and local health and human services procurement should monitor code families and classes that cover medical services procurement, benefits administration, and staffing services rather than this Commodity code, which does not reflect actual buying activity in recent notices.
