UNSPSC 85504329 Bypass left ulnar artery to lower arm vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect vascular surgery services. Instead, the tagged opportunities show state and local buyers procuring independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a defined surgical technique—and the actual work being solicited suggests this code either carries significant miscoding in state and local systems or sees minimal genuine activity aligned to its intended commodity definition. No recent opportunities actually soliciting vascular bypass surgeries or related surgical services appear in the record.

The opportunities tagged to this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissions, state departments of transportation, and county probation departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. Given the persistent disconnect between the code's formal definition and the work actually being bought, pursuit of opportunities under this code should rely on direct RFP and RFQ review rather than code-based sourcing strategies.
