This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower arm 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 03160A5

UNSPSC 85504459 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which corresponds to the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data integrity issue in the source material; the code title names a precise surgical intervention while the opportunities encompass broad healthcare administration and staffing services outside that scope.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city government (City of Long Beach), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Activity appears geographically distributed across Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code appears unsuitable for vendor pursuit in its current state-and-local application.
