UNSPSC 85502031: Bypass innominate artery to left upper 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 left upper 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 03120K1

UNSPSC 85502031, a Commodity code nominally titled "Bypass innominate artery to left upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach," shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code name describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to vascular bypass surgery and do not align with the code's nominal scope. The most recent solicitations under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the vascular surgical procedure the code names.

No substantive pursuit is warranted under this code based on current state and local activity. The code appears to be misapplied to general health services and benefits administration work rather than used for its intended procedural category. State and local procurement professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects a data entry error or systemic miscategorization before allocating business development resources.
