UNSPSC 85501888: Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm 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 bilateral upper arm 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 314092

UNSPSC 85501888 Bypass left subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope; the opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical care-out benefit programs, and emergency services for youth in custody. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag a broad range of healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services rather than discrete surgical interventions. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee benefit programs—a diverse mix across the healthcare, human services, and public benefits administration landscape.

Recent opportunities reflect activity in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability retirement determinations (response due October 16, 2026) with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program under its Anthem PPO plan (response due October 7, 2026), while the County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). The code's use across these diverse healthcare administration and benefits-management opportunities suggests misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement labeling; vendors pursuing healthcare services through state and local channels should flag this category mismatch in portfolio-management systems.
