This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein 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 03160KF

UNSPSC 85504419 Bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical scope does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — arterial bypass grafting — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. No state or local government solicitations in the dataset reflect procurement of the procedure itself or the clinical materials and services necessary to perform it.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity suggests this code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for business development purposes. The handful of opportunities posted under the code's designation span different issuing bodies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) and different health-care service categories, but none involve the arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes. Practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in this family and should monitor for corrected tagging in future solicitations from these jurisdictions.
