This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 03160AK

UNSPSC 85504449, Bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure code rather than a product or service category that state and local governments procure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific arterial bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems map clinical procedure codes to commodity taxonomy. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health systems.

No recent opportunities actually solicit the arterial bypass procedure or related vascular surgical services as a purchasable product or service line. The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in vascular surgery, surgical supplies, or related clinical service delivery.
