This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to right lower leg 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 03160K9

UNSPSC 85504423 Bypass left axillary artery to right lower leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent opportunities tagged with this code, but none involve the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve bypass graft procedures or the surgical implant scope implied by the code's name.

The mismatch suggests either miscategorization of these opportunities within the state and local procurement system or an error in code assignment. The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara)—and span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities in the source actually solicit vascular grafts, surgical supplies, or related implantable devices that would fall under the code's stated scope. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify category assignment with procurement offices before committing bid resources.
