UNSPSC 85501839 Bypass left subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally referencing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with surgical implant or device procurement. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension benefits, surgical care network management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional public health systems. This pattern suggests either a data-classification anomaly or a systematic mismatch between the assigned UNSPSC code and the work actually being bought.

The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries occupational health), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The most recent opportunities are an RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; an RFP from the City of Long Beach for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026; a WSDOT RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry personnel due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and option to extend; an RFI from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for hospital and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; and an RFP from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management services with historical spending around $8.7 million annually. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to the specific surgical procedure its name describes.
