This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85502838 Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (extracranial-to-intracranial bypass grafting), yet the six recent solicitations posted across August and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for PPO plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bypass grafting or the procurement of surgical implants, tissue products, or procedure-specific services.

State and local governments do not appear to solicit under this code in current practice. The opportunities tagged to it reflect broader health plan administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing functions that fall outside the scope of the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Buyers pursuing vascular or cardiothoracic surgery-related goods and services should verify code assignment before investing resources, as the mismatch between the code and recent activity suggests either a systematic tagging anomaly or minimal state and local demand for this particular procedure.
