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

UNSPSC 85504521 Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral lower leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not match that clinical definition. Instead, the opportunities solicited relate to independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific vascular bypass procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding of opportunities within state and local procurement systems or misapplication of this Commodity code to broader healthcare service categories. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement activity aligned with the code's clinical definition, this code does not represent a viable market segment for vendors specializing in vascular surgery supplies, implants, or related products and services tied to the bypass procedure itself. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
