UNSPSC 85504405 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower leg artery, open approach (Commodity) is a surgical procedure code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code reflect general health services contracting—occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not procure individual surgical procedures through solicitation; they contract for medical administration, staffing, benefits management, and healthcare delivery networks. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated surgical scope.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical disability evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical and specialty procedure carve-out benefit for PPO members, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty inpatient/outpatient services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spend), and County of Santa Clara Health System (non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a data-entry error or miscategorization; business development professionals should confirm the correct UNSPSC tier before pursuing this code.
