UNSPSC 85501870: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm 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 upper arm 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 03140A2

UNSPSC 85501870 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's vascular surgical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical services procurement across health plan administration, occupational medicine, independent disability evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or autologous arterial tissue grafting. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, and the tagged opportunities appear misclassified against the code's nominal surgical specification.

The six recent opportunities spanning August–September 2026 originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence for employees and retirees), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualification pool). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The code's misalignment with actual procurement signals suggest either taxonomic error in the source data or limited genuine demand for this specific vascular procedure code among state and local buyers.
