UNSPSC 85502019: Bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein 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 03120KF

UNSPSC 85502019 Bypass innominate artery to lower arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related implants and surgical supplies. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit medical evaluation and staffing services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical benefits programs—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of cardiovascular bypass procedures or related surgical implant procurement.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement records or a deliberate but unusual categorization by the issuing bodies. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether their own procurement systems or RFP platforms are using this code correctly. If the intent is to source actual bypass-surgery implants, tissue substitutes, or related surgical supplies, the Commodity code does not presently reflect that buying activity in the state and local market based on recent publicly posted opportunities.
