UNSPSC 85501985: Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm 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 bilateral lower arm 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 313095

UNSPSC 85501985 Bypass right subclavian artery to bilateral lower arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no relevant activity aligned with vascular bypass surgery. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for medical services more broadly, rather than for the specific vascular surgical procedure it nominally represents.

The issuing bodies in recent postings include county boards of county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread across the recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for city employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code itself appears to be a systematic mismatch with the actual work being bought, activity under this specific code warrants verification against the actual scope of work rather than reliance on the code name alone.
