UNSPSC 85502804: Bypass left temporal artery to intracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left temporal artery to intracranial artery 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 031T0AG

UNSPSC 85502804 Bypass left temporal artery to intracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities instead reflect general occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management and center-of-excellence coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the specific neurovascular surgical procedure this Commodity code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this code is used inconsistently by state and local issuing bodies to capture broader medical services procurement outside its narrow procedural scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal procurement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summaries and disability examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services supporting approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million). Without alignment between the Commodity code's surgical procedural definition and the actual work being solicited, the code shows little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing contracts in the neurovascular surgery or surgical device space.
