UNSPSC 85504516: Bypass right axillary artery to right upper arm artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right upper 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 03150Z0

UNSPSC 85504516 Bypass right axillary artery to right upper arm artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect this clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments purchasing occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical examinations. These services span medical administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity signals that the code has little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing vascular surgery or interventional procedures; the opportunities appear to reflect tagging errors or system classification anomalies rather than genuine market demand for bypass artery grafts through state and local channels.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), a county health system (Santa Clara), county government departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geography spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No meaningful pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges. Given the procedural and administrative nature of the five posted opportunities and their disconnect from the surgical code's intended scope, state and local governments do not appear to be procuring vascular bypass procedures under this UNSPSC code at present.
