UNSPSC 85501936: Bypass right subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 03130K0

UNSPSC 85501936 Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with a clinical-procedure focus, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual buying. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which align with the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code's title. State and local governments are instead using this code classification to solicit broad clinical services, medical staffing, and healthcare administration rather than bypass grafting procedures or related supplies.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix, independent medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara County temporary health staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), Texas (Harris County youth detention services RFI), and Washington (state Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance). The most concrete recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 (maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive staffing-pool RFQ for temporary health professionals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be carrying procurement activity that lacks proper UNSPSC alignment, suggesting either classification error by issuing bodies or the code's use as a catch-all for health services — a signal worth investigating before committing pursuit resources.
