This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to upper arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85504436 Bypass left axillary artery to upper arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominates a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities show issuing bodies soliciting medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care—none of which match the narrow surgical-procedure scope the code describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed to capture broader health service delivery that falls outside its original Commodity definition.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County), and special-district probation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed volume). Given the code's lack of substantive alignment with the opportunities listed, the code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical procedure procurement.
