UNSPSC 85502008: Bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper leg artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper 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 03120Z8

UNSPSC 85502008 Bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities field contains solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve bypass surgery or any surgical procedure. This mismatch indicates either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that the code is being applied outside its intended scope. The source provides no evidence of state and local governments soliciting bypass surgery services or related surgical supplies under this code.

Recent activity does show multiple state and local healthcare purchasers issuing RFPs and RFIs during August and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but these solicitations are categorically distinct from the code's stated medical procedure. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requested surgical benefit carve-out program management; Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicited occupational medical surveillance; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) sought pharmacy benefit management. Without evidence that this code actually drives procurement for bypass surgery or related surgical services at the state and local level, the code should be treated as inactive for contracting purposes under its stated scope.
