UNSPSC 85501834: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm 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 03140K2

UNSPSC 85501834 (Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach) is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relation to this clinical intervention. Instead, the posted solicitations track to occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health-profession staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code assignment appears misaligned with actual procurement activity; the opportunities are genuine health-care and benefits-administration work but do not involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuers posting these solicitations include county pension boards, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county procurement divisions administering employee benefits, and county health systems.

Activity spans Arizona (Phoenix pension boards and fire/police disability evaluations), California (Long Beach employee surgical benefits, Santa Clara County temporary health staffing), Washington (state ferry occupational surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for a qualified vendor pool in temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows no decision-relevant alignment with vascular surgical procedures and warrants reclassification review.
