UNSPSC 85502006: Bypass innominate artery to left lower leg artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to left lower leg artery, 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 03120ZB

UNSPSC 85502006 Bypass innominate artery to left lower leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no relation to surgical vascular procedures. Instead, the posted solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. This mismatch indicates that the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurement, and the Commodity code itself does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefit offices (City of Long Beach).

The recent activity spans multiple states: Washington, Arizona, California (Santa Clara and Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, originally due April 9, 2026 (now past deadline). Given the consistent mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal surgical scope and the health administration and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code warrants reassessment for correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
