UNSPSC 85501972: Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper arm 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 arm 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 03130A0

UNSPSC 85501972 Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure using autologous arterial tissue, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention healthcare services — none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit for individual surgical procedures through RFP or IFB processes; they contract for medical services management, provider networks, staffing, and healthcare administration instead.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a fundamental gap between the code's nominal scope and its use in state and local purchasing systems. The code shows no relevant recent activity. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunities and verify code assignments before pursuing similar opportunities that fall within broader healthcare services families, such as medical examination services, health professional staffing, or benefits administration, which are regularly solicited by counties, municipalities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.
