UNSPSC 85504414 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed to classify a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which constitute bypass grafting procedures.

State and local governments post opportunities under this code sporadically and without thematic coherence to the code's nominal scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluations supporting disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical carve-out benefit program manager due October 7, 2026; and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted a limited-scope RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026, and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. This code shows no consistent issuing-body pattern and no geographic concentration—the recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification artifact; firms should verify code accuracy with individual procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this commodity code.
