UNSPSC 85504560: Bypass right axillary artery to left lower arm 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 left lower arm 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 03150A4

UNSPSC 85504560 Bypass right axillary artery to left lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually appearing in recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities tag this code to independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefit plans—none of which represent the specific arterial bypass surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catchall for healthcare service delivery and employee health benefit administration rather than for procurement of a defined surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county human resources departments, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows fragmented use across multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no clear pattern of repeat buyers, suggesting the tagging reflects administrative classification gaps rather than substantive procurement concentration.
