This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to left upper 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 03140J7

UNSPSC 85501847 Bypass left subclavian artery to left upper leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services. None of these opportunities involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies represent a mix of state departments, county agencies, and municipal retirement offices pursuing healthcare administration, medical staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical supply or implant procurement.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; no states show concentrated repeat activity under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The code exhibits significant misalignment between its nominal scope and the actual work state and local agencies are procuring under it, suggesting that either the taxonomy assignment is erratic or the code is being used as a catch-all for health services activity that does not fit more specific classifications. Firms pursuing opportunities tagged under this code should verify scope alignment with each issuing body's RFP language rather than rely on the code's nominal description.
