UNSPSC 85504341: Bypass left brachial artery to lower arm vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left brachial artery to lower arm vein, 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 03180ZF

UNSPSC 85504341 Bypass left brachial artery to lower arm vein, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of the taxonomy but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The code's clinical name references a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement systems occasionally mislabel opportunities using overly narrow or mismatched clinical codes, and this code appears to be an instance of that misalignment; the tagged solicitations reflect broader health services and benefits administration work rather than a specific surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county probation departments (Harris County), and regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity appears across California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations at 14 ferry terminals across Washington; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a $750,000 maximum over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. This code does not represent a usable targeting mechanism for vascular surgery procurement and should not drive pursuit decisions.
