UNSPSC 85501841 Bypass left subclavian artery to lower arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical implants or vascular bypass services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care coordination, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the implantable vascular device the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach). This pattern suggests a systematic mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being solicited.

The most recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an estimated historical pharmacy spend of $8.7 million annually; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity related to vascular surgery implants, grafts, or bypass procedures at any issuing body. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code represent genuine procurement need or a classification error before investing pursuit resources.
