UNSPSC 85504529: Bypass right axillary artery to right lower arm 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 arm 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 03150K3

UNSPSC 85504529 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical specialty networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which represent the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally names.

The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the state and local procurement system or that this code is used as a catch-all for disparate health services work. The issuing bodies in the recent block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and other public entities, but the opportunities themselves address administrative healthcare services, employee benefits management, and staffing rather than surgical procedures. No recent opportunities represent the purchase of actual surgical services or related clinical work that would correspond to the bypass procedure described in the code name. Given this substantial mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing vascular surgical services or related procedural work.
