This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85504547 Bypass right axillary artery to left upper arm artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for the surgical implant or vascular graft procedure the code nominally describes; instead, the recent opportunities cover occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans.

The opportunities that appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach)—and span multiple states including California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award vendor qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive with no guaranteed work), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs (due October 7, 2026, targeting contract execution April 1, 2027). The code appears to be incorrectly applied to these health-services and benefits-administration opportunities and shows limited utility for vendors pursuing vascular surgery implant supply or surgical procedure services at the state and local level.
