This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to right 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 03140J9

UNSPSC 85501845 Bypass left subclavian artery to right lower leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing services—none of which involve the specific vascular surgery procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates that either the Commodity code is misapplied to these opportunities or state and local procurement systems are using this surgical-procedure code as a catch-all for medical services broadly.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually). The code shows activity but limited coherence around a surgical-procedure definition.
