UNSPSC 85501949: Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm 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 bilateral lower arm 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 03130J5

UNSPSC 85501949, Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that reflects a specific surgical procedure code rather than a category of goods or services that state and local governments regularly procure. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a cardiovascular bypass surgery—and the actual work being solicited under it. Recent state and local solicitations filed under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of state departments, county health systems, and municipal governments: the Arizona city of Phoenix (retirement pension administration), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefits for county employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for state ferries), Harris County in Texas (detention-facility medical services), the City of Long Beach in California (employee health benefits), and Santa Clara County in California (temporary health staffing). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant state concentration. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure scope; the opportunities instead reflect general state and local health services administration and staffing procurement that appears to have been tagged to this code in error or through a misconfiguration in the issuing bodies' classification systems.
