UNSPSC 85501921: Bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03130KK

UNSPSC 85501921 Bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to that clinical description. The recent solicitations under this code address occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or implantable grafts. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this code is being misapplied to general medical service procurement or that the tagging reflects a data-entry error rather than a reliable classifier for targeting this UNSPSC category.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health authorities (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical annual spend around $8.7 million. Given the severe disconnect between code definition and actual procurement activity, this code does not represent a reliable procurement signal for business development targeting.
