UNSPSC 85501851: Bypass left subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 03140J3

UNSPSC 85501851 Bypass left subclavian artery to right lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal medical device or procedure scope. The opportunities posted over the past three months span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve bypass grafting or the procurement of related surgical implants or instrumentation. The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation, county health systems, municipal pension boards, and other local healthcare and human resources functions, but their work product does not match the code's clinical definition.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code appears to capture administrative, occupational health, and staffing-related medical services rather than implantable device procurement or surgical procedure services. A business development professional should verify whether this code assignment reflects a data classification issue or represents actual state and local procurement practice; the recent opportunities provide limited signal for vendors in vascular implants or surgical services themselves.
