This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial artery to right upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85504372 Bypass right brachial artery to right upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that maps inconsistently to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical cardiovascular procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, disability medical record review, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical care—none of which align with the procurement or delivery of a specific surgical bypass procedure. State and local governments do not purchase individual surgical procedures through formal competitive solicitation; they contract with health systems, physicians, or managed-care entities to deliver care. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of opportunity posting or a taxonomy alignment issue between UNSPSC and the state and local procurement systems using it.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any region. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier, Harris, Santa Clara), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation department (WSDOT), and various boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out programs due October 7, 2026, and WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The code shows insufficient recent activity with genuine relevance to surgical bypass procurement to support a reliable market assessment.
