UNSPSC 85504326: Bypass left ulnar artery to left lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ulnar artery to left lower arm 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 031A0J4

UNSPSC 85504326 Bypass left ulnar artery to left lower arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, and pharmacy benefit management administration—involve no vascular surgical procedures or synthetic implants. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention that does not appear in any of the solicitations listed. State and local governments are not buying the procedure or device this code nominally names; instead, the tagging reflects either administrative misfiling or a systematic labeling error in the procurement system.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No single jurisdiction appears more than once. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The actual work being solicited involves medical evaluation contracting, health plan administration, occupational health services, juvenile detention healthcare, and temporary staffing—none of which relates to the vascular surgical procedure nominally described by UNSPSC 85504326. This code should not be relied upon to identify relevant procurement opportunities in these service lines.
