This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left radial artery to lower arm vein, 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 031C0ZF

UNSPSC 85504301 Bypass left radial artery to lower arm vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency healthcare for detained youth — none of which involve the named vascular surgery procedure. The mismatch suggests either consistent miscoding or that the state and local procurement taxonomy uses this code as a catch-all for broad medical services rather than as a specification for a singular surgical intervention.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple sectors: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile corrections systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026) focused on disability determinations for public safety pension boards; Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (response due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an estimated historical spend of $8.7 million annually. The code shows low relevance to the specific surgical procedure it nominally represents and warrants clarification before pursuit.
