UNSPSC 85504505 Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral lower leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical vascular bypass work. Instead, the opportunities posted show that jurisdictions are using this code tag for occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, employee health benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with vascular surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope; when state and local issuers apply it, the actual work being solicited diverges significantly from the code's nominal definition.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county commissioners (Collier County), regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), local government health agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative posted solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Firms pursuing work under this code should treat it as a procurement taxonomy misalignment rather than a reliable signal of vascular surgery demand and verify the actual scope of work in each individual RFP.
