UNSPSC 85502078: Bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous venous 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 312092

UNSPSC 85502078, Bypass innominate artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope; the opportunities posted show no cardiovascular surgical work matching the code's clinical description. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or autologous tissue grafting.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies are primarily local municipal and county health and benefits administrators, with one state transportation agency. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual procurement scope suggests either a coding error in the underlying opportunities or that this particular Commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for vascular surgery or specialized cardiac services.
