UNSPSC 85502013 Bypass innominate artery to right lower arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under it reflect medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing services — none of which match the surgical procedure the code nominally names. The sourced opportunities are unrelated to vascular bypass surgery or any surgical intervention within the code's stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' systems or a broad misapplication of the code across health-care-adjacent services. No state or local government has posted a solicitation for bypass innominate artery procedures or related surgical services under this code. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for business development purposes and verify directly with issuing bodies if they intend to pursue health-care contracts, as the taxonomy signal is unreliable here.
