UNSPSC 85515252: Bypass right common iliac artery to lower 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 common iliac artery to lower 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 041C4AR

UNSPSC 85515252 (Bypass right common iliac artery to lower artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the state and local opportunities actually being tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for public employee health plans. None of these activities involve the arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments are not procuring the surgical procedure itself under this code; rather, purchasing offices appear to be using the code incorrectly when tagging health benefit administration, medical evaluation services, and occupational health contracts.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal employers (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent representative opportunities span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington State locations through the Washington State Department of Transportation (due October 9, 2026, ITB format with cost-based scoring); independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations through the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (due October 16, 2026, RFP format, $750,000 over five years); and a pharmacy benefit management services RFP issued by Collier County (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, though the deadline shown in the source—April 9, 2026—predates the posting date, suggesting a data error). Activity is concentrated in the West and Southwest, with Washington, Arizona, Florida, and California jurisdictions represented. The code's assignment to health benefits and occupational health administration rather than surgical procedures suggests either systematic tagging error across multiple issuing offices or a misdocumentation of the UNSPSC taxonomy itself; firms should verify code alignment with their target customer before pursuing opportunities tagged here.
