UNSPSC 85504523: Bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg 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 right 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 03150K9

UNSPSC 85504523 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (vascular bypass graft), yet recent solicitations posted under this code request independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve vascular bypass procedures or any operative surgical services.

The mismatch indicates either a misclassification in the state and local procurement system or an exceptional data error. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County), but their collective scope—medical administration, staffing, and care coordination—does not intersect with the code's nominal content. Procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for substantive opportunity evaluation pending correction of the underlying classification.
