This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to left 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 03140J4

UNSPSC 85501850 Bypass left subclavian artery to left lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch with the UNSPSC scope — the code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities procure or conduct the named surgical procedure itself.

The geographic spread of the few tagged opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas — reflecting activity across multiple regions — but the lack of alignment between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited signals either a tagging error in the source system or that this code does not represent a meaningful state and local procurement category. For business development purposes, this code warrants monitoring only if your firm directly supplies the named vascular bypass procedure or related surgical supplies; the recent activity provides no actionable signal of demand for that work.
