UNSPSC 85502048: Bypass innominate artery to right upper arm 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 right 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 03120J0

UNSPSC 85502048, a Commodity code for a specific surgical bypass procedure (bypass innominate artery to right upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that appear under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve the procurement or delivery of the named surgical procedure itself. The code's narrow, procedure-specific definition does not match the breadth of health services administration and staffing actually being solicited by state and local bodies.

State and local governments use UNSPSC coding flexibly, and this code appears to have been applied as a catch-all tag for health services opportunities without regard to procedural specificity. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Tacoma via WSDOT), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county commission (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara), operating across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No single jurisdiction dominates; the activity is geographically dispersed and episodic. For firms pursuing state and local health services work, this code does not reliably surface relevant opportunities—the recent notices demonstrate that health administration, staffing, and managed care solicitations are tagged inconsistently across multiple codes, and direct keyword search by service type (PBM, occupational health, medical staffing) will yield more reliable results than reliance on this commodity code.
