UNSPSC 85502052: Bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 03120AD

UNSPSC 85502052 Bypass innominate artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local activity shows the code is being applied to occupational health screening, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefits carve-outs—work that bears no clinical relationship to the code's stated procedure name. The mismatch suggests this code receives minimal application to its intended scope in state and local procurement. The actual work being solicited includes occupational medical surveillance with baseline and periodic examinations for transportation workers, independent medical record review and disability assessment for public safety pension determinations, management of Centers of Excellence networks for bundled surgical procedures, pharmacy benefit management including formulary and claims processing, and temporary staffing for ancillary clinical services such as radiology, audiology, and sterile processing. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county human resources and health systems divisions, city retirement boards, and regional health authorities.

Recent opportunities appear across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) requires board certification in occupational medicine and covers 14 ferry system locations statewide. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) budgets $750,000 over five years to summarize medical records and coordinate independent examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications. The County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed work volume. The code's application across these distinct service lines and the absence of procedures matching the Commodity's surgical descriptor indicate the category shows little functionally relevant recent state and local activity.
