UNSPSC 85502041 Bypass innominate artery to left upper leg artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure. The recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal connection to its nominal scope — the solicitations actually being executed address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these procurements involve vascular bypass surgery or surgical implants. State and local issuers are tagging these health-services-related opportunities under this code despite the profound scope mismatch, suggesting either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare procurement that does not fit narrower health-services categories.

The recent activity spans state departments, counties, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (response due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (response due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (response deadline April 9, 2026, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 service categories (response due October 7, 2026). This code shows little decision-relevant recent activity aligned to its vascular surgical procedure definition and should not be relied upon to signal actual procurement demand in that space.
