UNSPSC 85501984: Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper 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 upper 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 313096

UNSPSC 85501984, Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, the recent opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of vascular bypass surgery services or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code incorrectly to general healthcare administration and staffing services.

The recent opportunities do reflect activity across multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (for the State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. However, because none of these solicitations concern the vascular surgical procedure named in the code, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in vascular surgery products or services. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity classification of their offering against the work genuinely being bought under UNSPSC 85501984 in the marketplace before investing procurement development resources.
