This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to left 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 03140A1

UNSPSC 85501871 Bypass left subclavian artery to left upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little relevance to the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve bypass surgeries or arterial tissue grafting; instead, they span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation authorities, indicating broad adoption of the code across administrative and operational health functions unrelated to the specific surgical procedure named. The mismatch between the code's title and the work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all classification for health services broadly.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions with no geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term and $750,000 total compensation. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Collier County Commissioners in Florida solicited pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. No procurement activity under this code directly corresponds to vascular bypass surgery or similar procedural interventions, and business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85501871.
