UNSPSC 85504552: Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 03150AD

UNSPSC 85504552 Bypass right axillary artery to upper arm vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record review, specialty surgical network carve-outs for employee health plans, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular bypass grafting or its clinical execution. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source procurement records rather than a genuine market for this specific surgical intervention at the state and local level.

No state and local purchasing activity aligned with the actual scope of UNSPSC 85504552 appears in the recent opportunities block. Buyers include 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 County of Santa Clara Health System—all seeking health professional services, care administration, and benefit management rather than vascular surgical procedures. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the procurement focus is administrative, staffing, and network management rather than operative clinical services. A firm evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and flag the classification discrepancy with the issuing jurisdictions.
