UNSPSC 85501875: Bypass left subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous 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 031409K

UNSPSC 85501875 Bypass left subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with this clinical specification. Instead, the code shows activity across occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and pediatric emergency and specialty medical services within detention settings. State and local issuers — city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county commissioners' boards — are using this code to solicit a wide range of health services administration and clinical staffing rather than a single surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured signals either systematic miscoding or a taxonomic gap where state and local procurement systems have assigned diverse health services to a procedure-specific code.

Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent activity concentrated among California jurisdictions (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County) and Washington State Department of Transportation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System is accepting proposals for a multi-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, no guaranteed work). The code shows no unifying procurement signal — vendors pursuing opportunities here should verify the actual clinical or administrative service scope in each RFP rather than relying on the nominal code definition.
