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 does not match the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures or the implantation or management of arterial-venous bypass grafts. The code appears to have been misapplied across all five postings in the recent-opportunities block, suggesting either a tagging error in the source procurement system or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local jurisdictions are labeling health care and social service contracts.

Given the systematic mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific open surgical approach to vascular access) and all recent opportunities posted under it (institutional healthcare management, pharmacy administration, and peer support delivery), this code shows no actionable procurement signal for vendors offering vascular surgery services or related medical devices. Firms pursuing surgical services contracts should verify the correct code assignment with the issuing jurisdiction before responding to any opportunity tagged 85502004.
