UNSPSC 85514237: Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 041H4AJ

UNSPSC 85514237 Bypass right external iliac artery to left femoral artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve this procedure or vascular surgery at all. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for elective surgical procedures, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the particular arterial bypass procedure the code nominates. This mismatch suggests either mis-tagging of opportunities or systematic misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local jurisdictions use the taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million). Given the code's procedural specificity and the absence of relevant recent activity, this category warrants close scrutiny before pursuit — the tagging appears to reflect data-quality issues rather than genuine procurement volume in vascular surgery services.
