UNSPSC 85504468: Bypass left axillary artery to upper 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 upper 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 031609D

UNSPSC 85504468 Bypass left axillary artery to upper arm vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the procedure's scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this tag cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or autologous venous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the originating procurement system or a broad misapplication of the code to health services procurement categories that fall outside the code's nominal clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), large county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026 (covering 14 ferry locations statewide with occupational medicine physician examinations across multiple personnel categories), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years for disability benefit record review and psychiatric examinations), and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool RFP due October 7, 2026 (establishing a non-exclusive vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed volume). Given the procedural mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation content, this code shows limited utility as a procurement signal for vascular surgery or tissue-graft services in state and local contexts.
