UNSPSC 85502037: Bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower leg artery with synthetic 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 03120JC

UNSPSC 85502037 Bypass innominate artery to bilateral lower leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with vascular surgery services — instead, they encompass occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary clinical staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; the City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories. These solicitations reflect administrative healthcare and occupational health services rather than the vascular surgical intervention the code nominally names. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county human resources divisions.

Recent activity is geographically distributed across Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State (multiple ferry locations), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive vendor pool with no guaranteed volume). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the opportunities posted under it suggests either a systematic tagging error within these procurement systems or that the code is being used inconsistently across jurisdictions — the work being solicited is administratively and clinically sound, but the UNSPSC categorization appears misaligned with the actual services being procured.
