UNSPSC 85504530: Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper 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 bilateral upper 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 03150K2

UNSPSC 85504530, Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with surgical procedure services at all. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular surgery or the specific procedural intervention the code nominally names. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch suggests either miscoding on the issuing bodies' side or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the procedure it describes.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state or jurisdiction. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments — a mix indicating that when the code does appear in state and local postings, it surfaces across municipal, county, and state agencies with health or public-safety missions rather than specialized cardiovascular surgery procurement.
