UNSPSC 85501990: Bypass right subclavian artery to right 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 right 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 313090

UNSPSC 85501990 Bypass right subclavian artery to right upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical cardiovascular procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal surgical scope. The opportunities instead reflect a broader range of health services procurement — occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. These solicitations represent public sector health administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than procurement of the specific bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating that state and local agencies are using this code to tag health services procurement more broadly than the code's technical name suggests.

Recent activity appears primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's specific surgical procedure descriptor and the actual health administration and staffing services being solicited suggests the code sees limited activity for its intended purpose within state and local procurement.
