UNSPSC 85502036 Bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical cardiovascular procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit program management, and emergency services for youth in custody—none of which involve the specific vascular bypass procedure the code names.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, county probation departments, municipal retirement offices, and state transportation departments. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP for ferry system personnel (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (due April 9, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the breadth of general health services and administrative medical work actually being solicited suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or it does not accurately represent the work state and local governments currently source under it.
