This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg artery 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 03150A9

UNSPSC 85504555 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these issuing bodies are tagging their medical and administrative services solicitations.

The recent activity shows solicitations across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (acute and specialty medical services), Collier County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026 (IFB format, cost-based scoring); the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum, due October 16, 2026 (RFP format); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, due October 7, 2026 (multiple-award, non-exclusive qualification vehicle with no guaranteed volume). This code appears to carry little decision relevance for targeting vascular surgical procedure procurement under state and local government contracting.
