UNSPSC 85501980: Bypass right subclavian artery to left lower leg 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 lower leg 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 031309B

UNSPSC 85501980 Bypass right subclavian artery to left lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual vascular surgical services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's precise anatomical nomenclature and the breadth of health-service categories appearing in current solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of posting or an artifact of how certain state and local procurement systems classify health services. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems—a mix spanning social services, employee benefits administration, occupational safety, and detention healthcare.

The geographic spread spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no single jurisdiction showing repeat activity under this specific code. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, which seeks board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, requesting disability medical record summarization for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a five-year maximum of $750,000; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent procurement narrative—pursuit should treat the apparent miscoding as a signal to verify the correct UNSPSC classification before bid strategy development.
