This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 061G07Y

UNSPSC 85532818 Bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgery or any surgical procedure at all. Instead, the recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed for administrative health services unrelated to its nominal scope. No recent opportunities reflect the surgical work the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, and municipal procurement divisions across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, up to $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's disconnect from its stated commodity definition, pursuit decisions should be driven by the actual scope of work required rather than reliance on the code name alone.
