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 03120AB

UNSPSC 85502054 Bypass innominate artery to left lower leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with vascular surgery. The six recent opportunities posted under the code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which match the narrow clinical scope of the code's nominal title. State and local issuing bodies posting these opportunities include county health systems, county commissioners' boards, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement scope suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for medical services within procurement systems that lack granular health-services classification.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, posted August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management, posted August 20, 2026, due April 9, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance, posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, posted August 24, 2026, due September 25, 2026). Because the code shows substantial recent activity but lacks material connection to its stated vascular-surgery scope, the code represents either administrative activity requiring taxonomy correction or a signal to verify code accuracy with the issuing jurisdiction before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
