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

UNSPSC 85504374 Bypass right brachial artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a highly specialized vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the procedure's nominal scope. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the specific arteriovenous bypass procedure named in the code. State and local government bodies soliciting under this code appear to be using it as a catch-all classification for healthcare service procurement rather than for procurement of the arteriovenous bypass procedure itself.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity spanning July through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026). The code shows insufficient relevant recent activity to support meaningful business development targeting; vendors should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code actually require the specific arteriovenous bypass procedure or whether state and local procurement offices have mislabeled broad healthcare contracting activity.
