UNSPSC 85504321 Bypass left ulnar artery to lower arm vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular surgical services or the procedural intervention the code nominates. Instead, the solicitations under this code reflect a systematic mismatch: the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System are procuring medical management, staffing, and administrative health services including independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care coordination for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve vascular reconstruction or surgical bypass procedures.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The opportunities are spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida and span state departments, county governments, city procurement offices, and health systems — but they represent health administration and staffing services rather than the specific operative intervention the code describes. Bidders should verify with issuing procurement offices whether these opportunities have been mislabeled, as the tagged opportunities do not match the procedure-specific Commodity code under which they have been catalogued.
