This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right upper 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 03150A0

UNSPSC 85504564 Bypass right axillary artery to right upper arm artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this clinical description. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the particular bypass procedure the code names. State and local agencies are using this code to solicit general medical and health services administration rather than the specific surgical intervention the Commodity code describes, indicating either a cataloging error in the issuing systems or a broad misapplication of the code tier to cover related health services procurement.

The issuing bodies span county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and response deadlines in October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited, this code shows minimal relevance to genuine procurement activity in its defined area.
