UNSPSC 85501878: Bypass left subclavian artery to upper arm vein 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 upper arm vein 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 031409D

UNSPSC 85501878 Bypass left subclavian artery to upper arm vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little relevant alignment with this vascular surgery specification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency hospital care — none of which involve the specific bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests that issuing bodies or data systems may have applied this code to broader medical and health service categories without precision.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the opportunities themselves are administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing procurements rather than surgical procedures. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to serve as a catch-all tag for health services and medical benefit administration rather than as a precision classifier for the specific surgical procedure its name describes, reducing its utility for vendors targeting genuine vascular surgery supply or services opportunities.
