UNSPSC 85501872: Bypass left subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 03140A0

UNSPSC 85501872 Bypass left subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a highly specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal scope—a cardiovascular bypass surgery—and the work actually being solicited. The source shows no opportunities for procurement of bypass surgery supplies, devices, or operative services aligned with the code's title. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations directly concern the procurement of bypass left subclavian artery procedures or related surgical products and services. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health services and benefits-administration procurements that fall outside the cardiovascular surgical procedure domain.

Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities under this code, state and local procurement activity targeting the specific surgical procedure named in UNSPSC 85501872 is not evident in the source material. The tagged opportunities suggest either systematic miscoding or a gap in how state and local governments are currently classifying and procuring specialized vascular surgical services through formal competitive solicitations. Firms pursuing work in the cardiovascular surgery supply and services space should verify code assignment and search adjacent UNSPSC families covering surgical supplies, implantable devices, and specialized medical services to identify active state and local demand.
