UNSPSC 85501913: Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery, 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 03130Z5

UNSPSC 85501913 Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which correspond to the vascular surgical intervention the code nominally names. State and local buyers are tagging administrative and clinical support services, benefits administration, and staffing arrangements under this code, creating a substantial mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual procurement use.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical benefit carve-out program for its employee health plan; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Geographic activity centers on Washington, Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). This code warrants caution—the procurement activity under it appears to reflect categorization error rather than genuine demand for vascular bypass procedures, making it unsuitable for strategic pursuit.
