UNSPSC 85501836: Bypass left subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 03140K0

UNSPSC 85501836 Bypass left subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to any state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure (vascular bypass grafting), yet the recent solicitations tagged under it reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and Centers of Excellence carve-out programs—none of which involve the surgical intervention named in the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or systematic misalignment in how this particular code has been applied to health-services contracting.

The actual health-care services solicited by state and local bodies in this batch include occupational medical surveillance examinations (Washington State Department of Transportation, WSF), independent disability medical evaluations and record summary preparation (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical procedure networks and Centers of Excellence (City of Long Beach), temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions (County of Santa Clara Health System), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and emergency/specialty inpatient and outpatient services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies ranging from state transportation departments to county health systems, pension boards, and juvenile justice agencies. The RFPs and RFQs posted in July through September 2026 show response deadlines concentrated in September and October 2026, with contract executions anticipated through early 2027. Given the code's apparent misapplication, firms pursuing health-services contracting should verify UNSPSC assignment with each issuing body's procurement office and search by service category (occupational medicine, medical surveillance, pharmacy administration, clinical staffing) rather than rely on this code for opportunity identification.
