UNSPSC 85501829 Bypass left subclavian artery to left upper leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which match the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities by posting jurisdictions or a systematic misalignment between this code's nominal scope and procurement practice on the ground.

The geographic activity shown spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems and administrative offices, city retirement and procurement divisions, and health benefit consortia. Without opportunities that actually match the stated code scope, no pattern of repeat buyers, contract values, or response timelines specific to the named procedure can be drawn from these records. This code warrants re-verification before pursuing; confirm with your procurement research team whether state and local buying activity under this UNSPSC tag has genuinely shifted to the health services and staffing categories above, or whether the posting data carries systematic coding errors.
