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

UNSPSC 85502021 Bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a vascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's surgical scope and instead reflect demand for medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefits administration services across public-sector health programs. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. The work being solicited ranges from independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations to occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, surgical benefit carve-out program management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic data-entry error in how these solicitations were tagged.

Recent opportunities originate from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach soliciting surgical benefit carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners procuring pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026). Given the significant divergence between the code's vascular-surgery title and the health-benefits and occupational-medicine focus of actual recent solicitations, vendors should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before committing pursuit resources.
