UNSPSC 85501854: Bypass left subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 03140J0

UNSPSC 85501854 Bypass left subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular bypass grafting, yet the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code reflect occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits — none of which involve subclavian artery bypass grafts or match the procedural scope the code nominally covers. The mismatch suggests either data entry error in the source tagging or mission creep in how jurisdictions classify medical services broadly.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, originating from city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health employers (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County). No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated regional activity emerges from the sample. Because the tagged opportunities do not reflect the actual scope of UNSPSC 85501854 as named, pursuing this code on the assumption that it drives surgical procedure procurement would rest on a misclassification in the source data rather than on genuine market signal.
