UNSPSC 85504451: Bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein 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 03160AF

UNSPSC 85504451 Bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not procure surgical interventions or vascular bypass procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical network management—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a vascular surgical technique. The mismatch suggests this code has little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or the opportunities were misclassified.

The source documents no active state and local solicitations for bypass surgery services, vascular surgical supplies, or related clinical interventions under this code. State and local healthcare buyers—including city retirement offices, transit authorities, county health systems, and municipal employee health benefit programs—are currently sourcing independent medical evaluations, occupational surveillance services, pharmacy administration, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and surgical center networks, but not the specific vascular procedure named in the code. Buyers interested in surgical procedure capacity or vascular intervention supplies should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in this category.
