This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right extracranial artery, 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 03150ZJ

UNSPSC 85504502 Bypass right axillary artery to right extracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this surgical-procedure code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or operative procedures. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and the healthcare administration and staffing services state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026). Given the taxonomy mismatch, firms pursuing state and local opportunities in healthcare administration, occupational health services, or temporary medical staffing should verify the applicable UNSPSC code directly with the issuing body rather than relying on the surgical-procedure classification applied here.
