UNSPSC 85504467: Bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein with autologous venous 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 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 031609F

UNSPSC 85504467 Bypass left axillary artery to lower arm vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees and their dependents. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions. This pattern suggests either miscoding of these opportunities or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are tagging health services solicitations.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations—a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years with proposals due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories (audiology, radiology, respiratory care, surgical services, and others), with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly involve vascular surgery or the specific arterial bypass procedure the code nominally describes, indicating the code carries limited relevance to current state and local procurement demand in this area.
