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 venous 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 031709D

UNSPSC 85504378 Bypass right brachial artery to upper arm vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a category of products or services that state and local governments routinely procure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code names. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, spanning state departments, county governments, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for the vascular surgical service it nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this Commodity code to health services management and staffing opportunities. If your firm competes in occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefits management, or temporary health professional placement to public-sector employers, the recent activity under this code is incidental; these opportunities are more accurately classified under administrative health services codes rather than procedure-specific surgical taxonomy. No meaningful signal for vascular surgical procedure procurement exists in the recent state and local record for this code.
