UNSPSC 85504546: Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery 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 bilateral upper arm artery 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 03150J2

UNSPSC 85504546 Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery with synthetic 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 for vascular reconstruction, yet the state and local opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the particular arterial bypass procedure the code nominates.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or the code's use as a catch-all tag for unrelated health services procurement. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code in recent months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited decision-relevant signal for vendors pursuing opportunities under its stated scope.
