UNSPSC 85504479, Bypass left axillary artery to left upper arm artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or autologous venous grafting. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and county procurement offices acting on behalf of benefits consortia. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations actually posted suggests either systematic misclassification by the procurement offices or that this particular code descriptor does not align with how state and local governments currently categorize or tag medical services procurement.

The source shows recent activity across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year base and five optional one-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 spanning thirteen ancillary clinical categories. This code shows limited decision relevance for firms targeting state and local procurement under its stated commodity description.
