UNSPSC 85504562 Bypass right axillary artery to bilateral upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this designation. Recent activity shows a fundamental mismatch: the code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which align with the code's vascular surgery scope. The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, and city health departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little to no activity directly related to its stated surgical procedure.

The recent opportunities instead cluster around administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing contracting rather than surgical procedures. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026). Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. The code's application to these opportunities suggests a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems rather than legitimate procurement under a surgical procedure Commodity code; vendors should verify coding accuracy with the specific contracting office before pursuing work under this designation.
