UNSPSC 85504506: Bypass right axillary artery to left lower leg artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left lower leg 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 03150ZB

UNSPSC 85504506 Bypass right axillary artery to left lower leg artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broader health services procurement — independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations address administrative health program management, occupational health compliance, and provider network coordination rather than the discrete surgical intervention the code nominally names. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code without strong alignment to its clinical scope.

Recent activity spans diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out and Center of Excellence network management (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027), and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical-procedure scope and the actual health services administration work being solicited signals potential procurement-classification drift rather than genuine activity under this specific procedure code.
