UNSPSC 85501914: Bypass right subclavian artery to left 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 left 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 03130Z4

UNSPSC 85501914 Bypass right subclavian artery to left lower arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure coding and healthcare administration procurement — yet recent state and local activity under this code shows no alignment with the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests the code is either misconfigured in the state and local procurement systems or being applied to healthcare-adjacent administrative and staffing services rather than the specific vascular surgical procedure the UNSPSC taxonomy intends. State and local healthcare buyers — city retirement boards, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments — are using this code to tag a broad set of health services contracts, indicating either indexing error or loose tagging practices at the procurement-office level.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but the substantive opportunities reflect healthcare staffing, medical administration, and occupational health management — not the specific subclavian-to-radial bypass procedure. Business development teams should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this code; the current tagging appears to conflate procedure codes with healthcare services procurement.
