UNSPSC 85504517: Bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03150KK

UNSPSC 85504517 Bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity as reflected in recent solicitations. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement intent is substantial and consistent across all recent opportunities in the block. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) solicited independent medical evaluation and disability record review; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System built a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing; the City of Long Beach sought surgical center-of-excellence network management for multiple procedure types on a voluntary basis; Collier County pursued pharmacy benefit management administration; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth. No issuing body in the block solicited the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local work in vascular surgery or related procedural services.
