UNSPSC 85501861: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 03140AC

UNSPSC 85501861, Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service category that state and local governments procure directly. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the surgical procedure named in the code itself; instead, they address medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, health professional temporary staffing, and emergency medical care for detained youth. These solicitations reflect broader health benefit administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing needs, not procurement of the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests that the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies. No procurement activity directly related to performing or procuring the named surgical bypass procedure appears in the recent state and local record. The issuing bodies in the opportunities block—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are soliciting administrative and staffing services within health systems and benefits programs rather than surgical procedures or implantable devices. Given this disconnect, the code does not present a reliable signal for firms pursuing surgical-procedure or vascular-device procurement activity in state and local markets.
