UNSPSC 85501884: Bypass left subclavian artery to right upper leg 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 right upper leg 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 314096

UNSPSC 85501884 Bypass left subclavian artery to right upper leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope — they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and information requests for emergency and specialty services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve bypass graft procedures using autologous venous tissue. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific surgical intervention it nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's procedural designation and the opportunities posted suggests either classification error in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code functions as a catch-all for broader surgical and medical service categories in practice. Buyers include Arizona pension boards (Phoenix), California municipal health plans (Long Beach), Washington state transportation agencies (ferries), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County, Texas), county employee health benefits programs (Collier County, Florida), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County, California). Activity spans August through October 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code name and the work actually being solicited, prospects should verify the code's applicability to their service line before investing development effort — the taxonomy may not reliably target relevant buyers for bypass graft or specialized vascular procedures.
