UNSPSC 85502032: Bypass innominate artery to right 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 right 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 03120K0

UNSPSC 85502032 Bypass innominate artery to right upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's clinical description refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it do not reflect vascular or bypass grafting procurement. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with procurement of bypass grafting supplies, implants, or surgical services for innominate artery to right upper arm artery procedures.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding of these opportunities within state and local procurement systems or use of the UNSPSC code as a catch-all for medical services absent a more precise fit. State and local health systems, county and municipal human resources departments, and specialized agencies (Washington State Ferries, Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department) are issuing these solicitations, but they relate to administrative and occupational healthcare services, benefit plan management, and temporary staffing rather than cardiovascular surgical supplies or implants. Absent evidence of actual state and local procurement activity for bypass grafting materials or related surgical services, this code does not present a clear purchasing opportunity for vendors in the vascular or surgical implant space.
