This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial artery to right upper arm artery, 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 03170Z0

UNSPSC 85504364 Bypass right brachial artery to right upper arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities tag administrative and occupational medical services unrelated to vascular surgery: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence networks serving enrolled employees; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is requesting emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool. The code mismatch signals that UNSPSC 85504364 shows little relevant recent activity for the specific surgical procedure it nominates—procurement of bypass vascular surgery itself does not appear in the available opportunities.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the services solicited are administrative healthcare management, benefit carve-out networks, occupational health compliance, emergency detention medicine, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing. No opportunities reflect direct procurement of open vascular bypass procedures, materials, or related surgical supplies. The geographic spread includes the Southwest, West Coast, and Southeast, but geography is incidental to the core finding: the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought under it do not align. Firms pursuing vascular surgery product or service lines should monitor established medical procurement channels rather than this code.
