UNSPSC 85502840: Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

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 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 031H09G

UNSPSC 85502840 Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not align with this surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities reveal that the code is being applied to a broader range of medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and healthcare administration services that fall well outside the scope of a defined surgical bypass procedure. The actual work being solicited includes independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health examinations for ferry workers, specialty surgical carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities it is capturing suggests either a systematic tagging error or category scope drift in state and local procurement systems.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments managing employee health benefits (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and large county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with notice types including RFP and RFI. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical service categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows active but geographically dispersed activity with no dominant repeat buyer; pursuit requires clarifying whether the code assignment reflects procurement system error or intentional use for medical administration services outside surgical procedures.
