UNSPSC 85504536: Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with synthetic 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 03150JD

UNSPSC 85504536 Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a vascular graft operation—but the recent opportunities tagged under it concern medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve the procurement of surgical implants, devices, or operative services related to axillary artery bypass grafting.

The recent opportunities show no activity relevant to the code's nominal scope. State and local issuers—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—are soliciting administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing support rather than vascular surgical procedures or related medical devices. This appears to be a classification mismatch; the code should not be pursued based on current market signals in state and local procurement.
