UNSPSC 85501804 Bypass left subclavian artery to right extracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with the work actually being procured. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services — none of which involve the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted opportunities under this code, yet their scopes span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational medical examinations, surgical carve-out benefits, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. This represents a systematic mismatch between the code's surgical definition and the administrative and staffing services state and local government is actually buying.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for the vascular bypass procedure it nominally describes. The geographic distribution of recent postings spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, but all activity relates to healthcare administration and staffing rather than surgical procedures. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block request vascular surgical services, implants, or related clinical supplies. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as presently inactive for its stated commodity scope and confirm coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing any of these opportunities.
