UNSPSC 85504520: Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein 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 upper arm vein 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 03150KD

UNSPSC 85504520 Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local government procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope — the recent opportunities tagged to it involve disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which constitute the named arterial bypass procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the actual surgical service it names. State and local governments do buy medical services through procurement — examining physicians for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational health screening for state ferry workers, and specialty surgical networks for municipal employee benefits — but these do not map to this specific procedure code.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability pension applications, RFP with October 16, 2026 deadline), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance with October 9, 2026 deadline), and the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, RFP with October 7, 2026 deadline) represent recent issuing bodies, but none of these solicitations reflect the bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual health services being procured suggests either miscoding in the source data or a data quality issue in the underlying procurement classification. Business development professionals should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this code; the commodity itself may have limited state and local procurement velocity, or recent opportunities may have been tagged incorrectly.
