This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with synthetic substitute, 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 031H0JG

UNSPSC 85502836 Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve carotid-to-intracranial bypass surgery. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems. This broad range of unrelated work suggests a classification mismatch rather than a coherent procurement category.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); Collier County's request for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and historical spending of $8.7 million annually, due April 9, 2026 (258414); and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code lacks geographic concentration or thematic coherence; activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas without connection to the stated surgical procedure. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification before investing in proposal development, as the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity do not align.
