UNSPSC 85501809 Bypass left subclavian artery to right lower leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which are surgical procedures. This mismatch indicates that the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or has been repurposed in state and local procurement taxonomy to encompass a broader range of healthcare service contracting that does not correspond to its procedural name. The recent solicitations show state and local agencies using healthcare-related UNSPSC codes to tag diverse benefits administration, clinical staffing, and medical management work rather than actual surgical interventions.

The recent opportunities originate from city and county procurement offices and independent school districts across multiple states, including Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates clustered between late August and early October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (due April 9, 2026 at approximately $8.7 million annually), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out networks (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure title and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors offering surgical services or procedure-specific products.
