This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03120KK

UNSPSC 85502017 Bypass innominate artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with surgical vascular procedures. The opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which reflect the code's nominal scope of arterial bypass surgery. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county benefits administrators (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, reflecting no particular regional concentration.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, valued at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferries workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with cost-based scoring; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through centers of excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code classification appears to be a data-entry or tagging error across all recent postings; vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification required for their target market rather than treating the arterial bypass procedure code as a predictor of buying activity.
