UNSPSC 85501807 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure, yet the code shows a fundamental mismatch with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular bypass surgeries or any surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, they reflect health benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, medical staffing, pharmacy management, and disability evaluation services—none of which align with surgical intervention procurement. State and local governments do not typically purchase or contract for individual surgical procedures under UNSPSC classification; rather, they contract with healthcare providers, health plans, and staffing vendors for the delivery of services that may encompass such procedures as part of a broader clinical or administrative arrangement.

The recent opportunities in the data reflect activity across diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. This code appears to carry a data-entry or classification error and should not be relied upon as an indicator of surgical-procedure contracting activity at the state and local level.
