UNSPSC 85504417: Bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03160KK

UNSPSC 85504417 Bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a surgical procedure classification, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular bypass surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for pension determination, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve procurement of surgical procedures, implants, or the bypass technique named in the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a data-classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code is being applied to capture broader medical services contracting rather than specific surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city HR and benefits procurement (City of Long Beach), county commissioners offices (Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and independent pension boards. Geographic spread is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual vascular surgical procurement and should not be used for business development targeting in that domain.
