UNSPSC 85501981: Bypass right subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 313099

UNSPSC 85501981 Bypass right subclavian artery to right lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with vascular surgery. The recent solicitations clustered under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and city agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). This mix indicates that the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or that the UNSPSC taxonomy does not accurately reflect the actual services being bought under it.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical benefits carve-out program for Center of Excellence networks with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County in Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with an April 9, 2026 deadline. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026, and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent posting activity but no clear procurement pattern tied to vascular surgery procedures themselves — vendors should investigate whether this code accurately reflects their service lines before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
