UNSPSC 85501840: Bypass left subclavian artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic 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 03140JJ

UNSPSC 85501840 (Bypass left subclavian artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The code describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged to it—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—cover administrative medical services, benefits management, and clinical workforce supply rather than the surgical implant or procedural service the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are tagging their healthcare procurement.

No solicitations in the record directly procure vascular surgical procedures, synthetic arterial grafts, or related implantable medical devices. State and local buyers posting under this code are instead contracting for health plan administration, occupational health programs, temporary clinical staffing, and disability medical assessments—services that operate upstream of or parallel to surgical intervention, not the surgical intervention itself. Business development professionals targeting this code should verify with issuing bodies whether they intend to solicit surgical implant or procedural services in the near term; the current posting pattern does not support pursuit under the code's nominal scope.
