UNSPSC 85501844: Bypass left subclavian artery to left lower leg 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 left lower leg 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 03140JB

UNSPSC 85501844 Bypass left subclavian artery to left lower leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or implantable medical devices. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health services procurement across multiple issuing bodies, suggesting a taxonomic mismatch rather than genuine activity in vascular surgical procedures at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of these opportunities covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies range from state departments and county health systems to city retirement offices and county probation departments. Given the absence of relevant vascular surgery procurement activity and the apparent classification error, this code presents no viable pursuit opportunity for vendors in surgical devices, cardiovascular equipment, or hospital-based implant services.
