UNSPSC 85514858: Bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity 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 04104AQ

UNSPSC 85514858 Bypass abdominal aorta to lower extremity artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect that scope. The opportunities actually being solicited are medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with a specific vascular surgical technique. State and local procurement systems appear to have tagged these health care administration and staffing opportunities with this code despite a clear mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work being purchased. The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement boards, county governments, state transportation departments, health systems, and county probation departments seeking administrative and clinical support services rather than the procedure itself.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with responses due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity reflecting actual procurement of the vascular surgical procedure its title describes, indicating that either the UNSPSC category assignment is incorrect or the code is used inconsistently within state and local procurement systems.
