UNSPSC 85502003: Bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein, 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 03120ZF

UNSPSC 85502003 Bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical services or vascular bypass procedures. Instead, the opportunities document procurement of comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or that issuing bodies have applied the code incorrectly to non-surgical healthcare service contracts.

The recent opportunities are distributed across multiple issuing bodies—a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), another county board of commissioners (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health division (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California)—and span healthcare administration and service delivery rather than surgical procedures. Geographic activity appears scattered across Georgia, Florida, and California with no clear regional concentration. Because the code's definition does not align with the types of services actually being procured, practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC code for healthcare service contracts before pursuing opportunities in this category.
