This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper arm 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 03120J2

UNSPSC 85502046, Bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local procurement systems target occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure named in the code's definition. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source system or systematic misapplication of the UNSPSC code to general healthcare procurement activity that does not match the surgical-procedure specificity the code is intended to capture.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and regional health systems. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with no clear geographic concentration supporting procurement of the specific cardiovascular surgical service the code nominally describes.
