UNSPSC 85501989: Bypass right subclavian artery to left upper 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 left upper 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 313091

UNSPSC 85501989 Bypass right subclavian artery to left upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that clinical specification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detainees—none of which relate to the subclavian artery bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a labeling error in the UNSPSC taxonomy application; this code shows no relevant recent state and local solicitation activity for the work its name describes.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), and special-purpose detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington State, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vehicle to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants clarification before pursuit.
