This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 03130AK

UNSPSC 85501957 Bypass right subclavian artery to left extracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The source shows no active state or local contract opportunities requesting this specific surgical procedure or related vascular intervention services. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, surgical care-out programs through Centers of Excellence, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or the operative techniques named in the code's abstract title. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the procurement system or use of the code as a convenience placeholder for medical services more broadly.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little or no relevant recent volume. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), city retirement offices (Phoenix), and state transportation departments (Washington), but their actual buying does not target the vascular surgery specialty the code describes. Pursuit of opportunities tagged to this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body that the work genuinely requires vascular surgery expertise or procurement under this specific UNSPSC designation.
