This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper artery with autologous tissue 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 03RY07Z

UNSPSC 85503619 Replacement of upper artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's description—a highly specific surgical procedure—does not match the scope of work in recent solicitations tagged under it. State and local governments are not soliciting procurement of arterial replacement surgeries themselves; rather, they are buying medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These recent opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational surveillance for ferry workers, surgical carve-out benefit management for city employees, and staffing for hospital-based specialty services—none of which involve direct procurement of arterial replacement procedures.

The issuing bodies in recent postings include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems and benefits administrators (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity in the recent-opportunities block spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or that this code does not represent an active state and local procurement category in practice.
