UNSPSC 85501867 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code representing a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the procedure itself. Instead, they reflect broader occupational health, medical benefit administration, independent medical evaluation, and temporary clinical staffing services that state and local jurisdictions are procuring to support employee health programs, pension disability determinations, occupational safety compliance, and youth detention medical care. The work actually being solicited spans independent medical record review and disability evaluation scheduling, occupational medical surveillance and examinations, surgical benefit carve-out network management for employee PPO plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary categories including radiology, cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical services. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county health systems.

Recent activity spans multiple states: Washington (Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP with April 9, 2026 submission deadline), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026). The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch; the specific surgical procedure coded does not correspond to the health administration, occupational surveillance, and workforce staffing services state and local governments are actually procuring under this number.
