UNSPSC 85501849: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm 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 bilateral lower arm 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 03140J5

UNSPSC 85501849 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vascular procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the surgical procedure named in the code itself. The opportunities instead reflect a broad range of health care services procurement: independent medical evaluation and disability benefit determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The issuing bodies span county and municipal government health systems, pension boards, state transportation departments, and county probation departments—a mix of administrative, occupational health, public safety pension, and direct patient-care contexts. This significant disconnect between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually purchasing suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement not otherwise specified.

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the wide variety of unrelated health care services and the fundamental mismatch between the code name and procurement activity, this code shows no actionable recent activity for vendors focused on the specific vascular bypass procedure it nominally describes.
