UNSPSC 85501939: Bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 03130JK

UNSPSC 85501939 Bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical bypass procedure, but the most-recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency medical services coordination—none of which involve the specific surgical intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or data quality issues in code assignment; opportunities genuinely soliciting bypass procedures or related surgical services do not appear in the recent posting activity.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities that do appear is scattered across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural name and the health administration and staffing services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant current activity for vendors positioned to deliver the surgical procedure it nominally describes. State and local buyers appear to be using this code for general health services procurement rather than for the specific bypass procedure indicated by its name.
