This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ulnar artery to lower arm vein with autologous venous tissue, 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 031909F

UNSPSC 85504339 Bypass right 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 shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The six most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which describe vascular bypass surgery or any related operative intervention. State and local purchasing systems appear to have applied the code inconsistently or incorrectly across these opportunities, suggesting either a data-classification issue in source systems or a mismatch between the code definition and how issuing bodies are tagging healthcare services work.

The issuing bodies include Arizona state pension boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California municipalities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), a Florida county (Collier County), a Texas county (Harris County), and a Washington state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code itself does not map to the work being solicited, no representative opportunities can be credibly framed as work under the code's actual scope. Firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify code alignment before bidding, as this category shows systematic misclassification across multiple jurisdictions.
