UNSPSC 85514868: Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral common iliac arteries 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 bilateral common iliac arteries 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 04104A8

UNSPSC 85514868, a Commodity code for "Bypass abdominal aorta to bilateral common iliac arteries with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach," does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local opportunities. The recent postings tagged to this code do not involve surgical procedures or medical device implants; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management and care coordination, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit administration, and youth detention healthcare services. The code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical technique—does not align with the administrative, coordination, and staffing services appearing in the opportunity records, indicating a material mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the work state and local buyers are actually contracting for under this tag.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span city retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county procurement offices. Recent activity appears in Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no standout repeat buyer evident in the recent posting cycle. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the healthcare administrative, staffing, and benefit-management work appearing in practice, this code warrants close attention if your firm pursues state and local health services contracting—the classification may continue to be misapplied, creating discovery challenges in opportunity searches and potentially obscuring the actual scope of future solicitations.
