UNSPSC 85504355: Bypass left brachial artery to left lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left brachial artery to left lower arm artery with autologous arterial 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 03180A4

UNSPSC 85504355 Bypass left brachial artery to left lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement of the arterial bypass procedure itself; the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the diverse medical-administrative and staffing services appearing in state and local solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or a divergence between UNSPSC's medical-procedure taxonomy and how procurement offices actually classify healthcare contracting.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments, counties, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (for ferry worker medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (for disability medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (for surgical benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (for detained-youth medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (for pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (for temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida based on these six postings. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years). Bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before investing proposal effort, as the procedural medical-services work shown here does not substantively overlap with the code's vascular-surgery description.
