UNSPSC 85514314: Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral 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 041F4KK

UNSPSC 85514314, Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations, surgical care coordination networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures. The code appears to be a medical billing or claims classification that state and local procurement offices have misapplied to broader health service categories. State and local buying under this code tag does not align with the narrow clinical procedure the UNSPSC designation names.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of state and local health service procurement suggests that pursuing opportunities under this code requires verification that individual solicitations are genuinely seeking the vascular procedure services the code names, rather than relying on the code tag alone.
