UNSPSC 85504366: Bypass right brachial artery to upper arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial artery to upper arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03170KD

UNSPSC 85504366 Bypass right brachial artery to upper arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of state and local procurement activity actually occurring under this code number. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefits programs — none of which are surgical vascular procedures. The code itself describes a specific cardiovascular surgical intervention, yet state and local procurement bodies are using this code designation to solicit administrative healthcare services, staffing, and benefit management rather than the procedure or implant it nominally represents. This mismatch signals either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a significant divergence between UNSPSC code definition and actual procurement practice at this tier.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no indication of concentrated repeat buyers or a dominant issuing-body profile. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension-board disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code's surgical procedure title and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, this code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing actual vascular surgical or medical device work.
