UNSPSC 85501948: Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper leg 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 right upper leg 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 03130J6

UNSPSC 85501948 Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a vascular bypass graft—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures or implantable devices. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied to broader healthcare service categories that fall outside its narrow procedural scope.

No state and local procurement opportunities directly aligned with vascular bypass surgery or synthetic vascular grafts appear in the recent record. The code shows little relevant activity for vendors offering surgical implants, surgical services, or related medical devices in the state and local market. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether the tagging reflects genuine demand or represents a cataloging inconsistency, and consider whether alternative UNSPSC codes better capture the healthcare services and products currently being solicited by state agencies, counties, cities, and health systems.
