UNSPSC 85504356: Bypass left brachial artery to left upper 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 upper 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 03180A1

UNSPSC 85504356 Bypass left brachial artery to left upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities appearing under it. The code describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; the recent opportunities solicited span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the named surgical intervention.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually posted suggests that UNSPSC 85504356 is not a reliable purchasing vehicle for state and local procurement activity. State and local health plans and agencies do occasionally solicit medical services, but the opportunities shown here were tagged to a clinical procedure code rather than to administrative health services, staffing, or benefits management codes. No issuing body appears more than once in the recent record, and no geographic concentration emerges. For business development purposes, this code shows little relevant recent activity and should be deprioritized in favor of codes aligned with the kinds of health administration and clinical staffing services that state and local health agencies are actively buying.
