This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein, 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 03150ZD

UNSPSC 85504504 Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein, open approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this identifier do not reflect vascular surgical procedures; instead, they center on occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement systems or a commodification of healthcare services delivery that does not correspond to the procedure-specific code definition. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, county procurement offices managing employee benefits, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The most substantive recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs under its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Collier County in Florida issued a separate RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, though this opportunity's posted deadline of April 9, 2026 has passed. None of these solicitations involve bypass surgery or vascular procedures, indicating this code does not reflect active state and local procurement of the surgical service it nominally names.
