This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left axillary 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 03R60JZ

UNSPSC 85504026 Replacement of left axillary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not align with vascular surgical interventions. Instead, the solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examination coordination, health professional staffing services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve arterial replacement surgery or vascular reconstruction. The scope of work being solicited under the code reflects administrative and clinical support services to government employee benefit programs, public agency occupational health compliance, and detention facility healthcare delivery rather than surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The mix skews toward health systems and benefits administration rather than surgical service procurement.

Recent geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and South: Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Arizona (disability benefit medical record review and examination), California (surgical benefit carve-out network for Long Beach, temporary health professional staffing pool for Santa Clara County), Florida (pharmacy benefit management for Collier County), and Texas (specialty medical services for detained youth in Harris County). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), requiring baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations under supervision of board-certified occupational physicians; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical record summary and independent medical examination RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), seeking contractor support for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications; and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vascular surgical procedures themselves.
