UNSPSC 85502027: Bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower arm 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 bilateral lower arm 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 03120K5

UNSPSC 85502027, Bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reflect no actual demand for that service. Instead, the posted solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefits carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — work that bears no connection to the bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry itself is misaligned with state and local purchasing practice.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Arizona and Washington show the most recent activity, with individual opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026 and response dates ranging from late August through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard and vessel workers across 14 Washington ferry locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination serving approximately 75 annual pension board disability applications. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal cardiovascular surgical scope.
