UNSPSC 85504458: Bypass left axillary artery to right upper leg artery 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 right upper leg 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 03160A6

UNSPSC 85504458, Bypass left axillary artery to right upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach (Commodity), is a procedural code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities associated with this code do not involve the specific surgical procedure named in the taxonomy; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These activities fall outside the scope of the arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes, indicating a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city health benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county government human resources divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The persistent mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement activity suggests this code assignment may warrant review for accuracy.
