This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common carotid artery to left extracranial 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 031J0AK

UNSPSC 85502827 Bypass left common carotid artery to left extracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed by vascular surgeons in acute-care or specialty hospital settings; state and local governments do not directly procure this procedure as a standalone commodity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are instead tagged to unrelated health services work: independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit network administration, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical care coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these functions align with vascular surgery supply or procedural contracting. This code appears to be a data-entry or classification error in the posting system rather than an active procurement category for state and local buyers.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are procuring medical administrative services, network management, occupational health programs, and staffing support, not surgical procedures or implants. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but this distribution reflects the misclassification rather than actual market activity under the Commodity code. No state or local buyer has issued an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for carotid artery bypass grafts or related vascular-surgical supplies.
