This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery with synthetic 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 03160J2

UNSPSC 85504446 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical-procedure procurement in any meaningful way. The opportunities posted show instead a broad mix of healthcare services including occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for miscellaneous health-related services and administrative functions rather than a reliable signal of actual procurement intent. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county human resources divisions, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county juvenile justice departments, and city procurement offices.

Activity is geographically scattered across Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications with a $750,000 five-year maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern and does not warrant pursuit based on the actual work being solicited.
