UNSPSC 85504558: Bypass right axillary artery to right upper leg artery 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 right upper 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 03150A6

UNSPSC 85504558 Bypass right axillary artery to right upper leg artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical vascular procedure—and the state and local medical and administrative services actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which directly relate to vascular bypass surgery. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a divergence between the code's technical name and its operational use in the market.

The recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (for ferry worker medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit administration), Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County, Texas (youth detention medical services), and the County of Santa Clara, California (health professional temporary staffing). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include WSDOT's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summary and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual applications, due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. Given the code's nominal surgical specificity and the breadth of administrative and occupational health services actually tagged, this code warrants close review before pursuing opportunities to ensure fit with your firm's actual service capability.
