UNSPSC 85501973: Bypass right subclavian artery to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian artery to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous 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 031309N

UNSPSC 85501973 Bypass right subclavian artery to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a highly specialized cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit programs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement databases or reflects an artifact of vendor classification that does not correspond to actual buying activity under this Commodity. State and local buyers have not posted opportunities seeking this specific surgical procedure or related cardiac surgical services under this code in the recent solicitations available.

The few opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing procurement by county health systems, municipal benefits offices, and state departments. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). These solicitations occur across Arizona, California, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity, vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to this Commodity.
