UNSPSC 85514864: Bypass abdominal aorta to right external iliac 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 right external iliac 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 04104AD

UNSPSC 85514864, Bypass abdominal aorta to right external iliac artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement for the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and specialty medical services coordination — none of which align with the aortic bypass procedure naming. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to a broad set of health service contracting activities that fall outside the code's stated scope.

The geographic and issuing-body mix across the recent opportunities spans multiple states and jurisdiction types — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) — with the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) also active. Because the opportunities do not reflect procurement under the code's nominal commodity definition, they do not constitute reliable signals for business development targeting this UNSPSC category. Firms evaluating activity under UNSPSC 85514864 should clarify the code's intended scope with procurement offices or request code clarification when encountering similarly misaligned opportunities in future RFPs and RFQs.
