UNSPSC 85504561: Bypass right axillary artery to right 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 right 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 03150A3

UNSPSC 85504561 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the vascular surgical procedure the code name describes.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or systematic mistagging of opportunities. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect the scope of the UNSPSC code itself, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on the specific surgical service described. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC codes attached to opportunities of interest before pursuing them, as the nominal code label will not reliably predict the work being bought.
