This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower leg 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 031609C

UNSPSC 85504469 Bypass left axillary artery to bilateral lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the most recent solicitations posting under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specified vascular surgical procedure. The opportunities span medical services administration, clinical staffing, and benefits program management rather than the direct provision of the coded surgical service.

Recent activity under this code comes from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026, supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The apparent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code may be applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or has been tagged incorrectly in the system.
