UNSPSC 85504427: Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower arm 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 lower arm 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 03160K5

UNSPSC 85504427 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which align with the surgical intervention the code nominally names. No solicitations in the available record are actually procurement of bypass surgery services or related surgical implants or devices; the mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry.

The apparent issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation for the Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Because none of these opportunities involve the surgical procedure named in the code, prospective vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before pursuing work under this code.
