UNSPSC 85501966: Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 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 03130A6

UNSPSC 85501966 Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical interventions. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a defined vascular surgical technique—and the actual work being procured suggests this code is either miscoded in the source records or used as a catch-all for health services contracting that does not align with its technical definition. State and local governments are not soliciting this specific arterial bypass procedure as a discrete commodity; they are instead buying health plan administration, clinical staffing, and medical evaluation services.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). Geographically, recent activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. Given the persistent misalignment between the code definition and the actual procurement activity, firms pursuing opportunities in health services administration and clinical staffing should verify code assignments in each individual solicitation rather than relying on this category for pipeline development.
