UNSPSC 85504379: Bypass right brachial artery to right lower arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial artery to right lower arm artery 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 317093

UNSPSC 85504379, Bypass right brachial artery to right lower arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that in practice does not map to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare and occupational health services rather than the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies are soliciting medical administration, provider networks, clinical staffing, and occupational health programs, not the specific bypass surgery indicated by the code's title. This mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or use of the code as a placeholder where a more precise commodity or service code does not exist within the UNSPSC taxonomy.

Recent activity includes issuers across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for a PPO plan, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation for the Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve procurement of the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Vendors should treat this code as carrying minimal signal for business development purposes and verify the actual service or commodity being bought before investing in pursuit.
