UNSPSC 85502026: Bypass innominate artery to right upper leg artery 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 right upper 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 03120K6

UNSPSC 85502026 (Bypass innominate artery to right upper leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the vascular bypass procedure the code names, and only one—the Long Beach surgical carve-out—references any operative procedures at all, with orthopedic and cardiac work mentioned as examples within a voluntary Center of Excellence network rather than the specific innominate artery bypass. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement databases or serves as a catch-all placeholder for medical services that fall outside established taxonomy categories.

The opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and municipal government (City of Long Beach), with most activity concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years, starting February 3, 2027); the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with questions due September 7; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the code's nominal scope bears no clear relationship to the work actually being solicited, the code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit; pursuit should focus on the specific work categories named in individual opportunities rather than reliance on the code title.
