UNSPSC 85502004: Bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to upper 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 03120ZD

UNSPSC 85502004 Bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the code appears to be used—possibly in error—to tag broader occupational health, disability medical evaluation, and employee benefit management services. State and local governments are not currently soliciting under this code for the specific surgical procedure its name suggests; the recent postings reflect administrative and clinical support services unrelated to bypass surgery.

The opportunities in the dataset span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits management offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for Anthem PPO plan members (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a systematic tagging error in the procurement system or significant scope drift in how this code is being applied at the state and local level.
