This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to left lower leg artery with nonautologous 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 03140KB

UNSPSC 85501826 Bypass left subclavian artery to left lower leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with actual procurement needs. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgery carve-outs for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth detention — none of which involve bypass grafting or cardiovascular intervention. The mismatch indicates either a data-classification error at the source or a broad misapplication of the code across medical and health services categories that fall outside the procedure itself.

Issuing bodies across the recent posting record include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county government administrative entities (Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County). The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The most recent and substantive opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award). The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated vascular procedure scope and warrants reclassification or audit against the actual services being procured.
