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 venous 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 031609K

UNSPSC 85504465 Bypass left axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that the source material does not support with recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which constitute the specific vascular surgical procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county benefits consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). This pattern suggests the code has been misapplied or serves as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than capturing actual vascular surgery contracting.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability determinations under a five-year, $750,000 contract commencing February 3, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year base and up to five one-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed volume. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific vascular surgical procedure it nominally describes.
