UNSPSC 85504343 Bypass left brachial artery to left lower arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a surgical procedure rather than a product or service that state and local governments typically procure as a standalone line item. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of this specific vascular surgery procedure. Instead, the opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve purchasing or contracting for bypass surgery itself. The issuing bodies span a health system (Santa Clara County), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county commissioner board (Collier County). This suggests a coding mismatch: the UNSPSC code is likely intended to classify medical supply procurement or bundled surgical services rather than discrete state and local health-benefit administration or occupational health programs.

Recent opportunities show activity across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, budgeted at $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry terminals. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. No recent opportunities explicitly procure bypass surgery procedures; the code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope.
