This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left radial artery to lower arm vein with nonautologous 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 031C0KF

UNSPSC 85504303, Bypass left radial artery to lower arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical surgical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—ranging from independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgery benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—are administrative, contracting, or general medical management services that do not reflect procurement of the specific vascular surgical procedure named by the code.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation posting or that UNSPSC 85504303 does not reflect how state and local public bodies structure their healthcare and benefits contracting. Issuers tagging opportunities under this code span state health systems, county procurement offices, county health systems, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but their actual procurements address staffing, benefit design, medical administration, and pharmacy services rather than surgical implants or procedural supplies. The code does not currently signal a viable pursuit opportunity for vendors supplying vascular surgical products or services.
