This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left upper 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 03150K7

UNSPSC 85504525 Bypass right axillary artery to left upper leg artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under it do not align with procurement of that service or related surgical implants. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which constitute the vascular surgery procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the sourcing system or a data quality issue. State and local jurisdictions posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are all pursuing health services contracts, but none are acquiring vascular surgical procedures, device components, or related clinical supplies. Without recent opportunities that genuinely reflect the code's intended scope, no representative procurement signal emerges. Practitioners pursuing work under this Commodity code should verify that current opportunities are correctly classified before committing pursuit resources.
