UNSPSC 85504428: Bypass left axillary artery to left 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 left 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 03160K4

UNSPSC 85504428 Bypass left axillary artery to left lower arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code is tagged to procurement opportunities in occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied as a catch-all medical services classifier rather than as a marker for the specialized cardiovascular surgery work the taxonomy intends.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county health systems and human services agencies, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none solicit vascular bypass grafts or related surgical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical roles including sterile processing and operating room support (due October 7, 2026). Collier County in Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, and the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures. None of these align with procurement of the specific bypass procedure coded here. State and local buyers do not appear to solicit this code as currently defined.
