UNSPSC 85501906: Bypass right subclavian artery to upper arm vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian artery to upper arm vein, 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 03130ZD

UNSPSC 85501906 Bypass right subclavian artery to upper arm vein, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the named vascular surgical procedure. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing jurisdictions' tagging systems or a fundamental misapplication of the code to health services procurement that falls outside its stated scope.

The source records no solicitations actually seeking the bypass procedure or related vascular surgical services. Across the opportunities posted—City of Phoenix (independent medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—the procurement activity is in benefits administration, occupational health programs, and workforce staffing, not surgical procedures or vascular interventions. State and local buyers using this code should verify their tagging practices; the code as currently applied does not represent a coherent market segment for business development purposes.
