UNSPSC 85504424: Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral upper leg 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 bilateral upper 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 03160K8

UNSPSC 85504424 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral upper leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to the code's stated scope. The available recent opportunities reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve vascular bypass grafting or the specific procedure named in the code. This mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed for unrelated medical services contracting. State and local procurement offices—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—appear to use this code as a catch-all for complex medical services, but the labeling provides no reliable signal about what is actually being solicited.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, with historical annual spend around $8.7 million). The code shows sufficient recent activity to warrant attention from firms that specialize in occupational health, medical evaluation services, or pharmacy benefit administration, but bidders must confirm that each specific opportunity matches their capabilities rather than relying on the code name to signal scope.
