This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right lower arm 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 03150Z3

UNSPSC 85504513 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little or no relevance to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent general medical and healthcare administration services, none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the specific bypass intervention the code names. The code's use in state and local procurement does not align with its anatomical procedure descriptor, suggesting either miscoding at the point of posting or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions classify healthcare service procurement.

No recent state and local opportunities substantively address vascular surgical bypass procedures, implant acquisition, surgical supply procurement, or related medical device or implant contracting under this code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are soliciting healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but none of these opportunities involve surgical procedure coding, physician credentialing for vascular surgery, or procurement aligned with the bypass procedure category.
