UNSPSC 85501637: Replacement of left subclavian artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left subclavian artery with synthetic 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 03R40JZ

UNSPSC 85501637 Replacement of left subclavian artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the state and local contract opportunities actually posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code do not address surgical vascular replacement or any related procedural implant services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these categories involve the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix — county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems — but the work they are actually procuring falls outside the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million and proposals due April 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code should be considered inactive for procurement activity aligned with its named scope; the procurement signals present relate to health services administration and occupational medicine support rather than surgical vascular procedures or implant supply.
