UNSPSC 85504448 Bypass left axillary artery to right upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities associated with the code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical bypass procedures or vascular surgery implants. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; instead, issuers appear to have applied a surgical procedure code to general health benefits administration and clinical staffing services, representing a taxonomy mismatch rather than a procurement category with active state and local demand.

The issuing bodies using this code include city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' solicitation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry terminals (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's current use suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local issuing offices or a data artifact; vendors should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
