UNSPSC 85501852: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper 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 upper 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 03140J2

UNSPSC 85501852 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—covering independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than vascular surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet none of the posted opportunities solicit vascular surgery, surgical implants, or related medical devices or supplies.

State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities or the code itself does not reflect actual purchasing patterns in this category. The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and regional health authorities (Santa Clara), but none of them are buying the specific surgical procedure or related materials the code names. Without representative opportunities that actually solicit vascular surgical bypass services, implants, or procedural supplies, the code offers no actionable signal for business development.
