UNSPSC 85501934: Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm 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 bilateral upper arm 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 03130K2

UNSPSC 85501934, Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with that clinical specification. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical network carve-outs, and youth detention medical care — none of which involve the particular vascular bypass procedure the code nominally names. State and local procurement systems appear to be using this code as a catch-all for general medical and health services contracting rather than as a taxonomy marker for a specific surgical intervention. Issuing bodies include municipal pension boards, county health systems and human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and regional health authorities, reflecting a mix of general-purpose local government, specialized health administration, and public safety entities.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The most recent and largest-scope opportunity is Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026 — though dated past the current review date of October 20, 2026), covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. Current-year recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefits carve-out program management for the Anthem Blue Cross PPO (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, no guaranteed work). The code's application to these opportunities signals potential misclassification in the underlying procurement database rather than genuine demand for the specific bypass procedure named.
