UNSPSC 85504565: Bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous 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 031509K

UNSPSC 85504565 Bypass right axillary artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that the source does not support with relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the originating procurement systems or that the code has been applied to medical services and administration categories that sit outside its nominal surgical scope.

State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with procedure or service codes that do not match the work actually being solicited. In this case, the recent opportunities reflect demand for occupational health surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical evaluations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), Centers of Excellence surgical networks (City of Long Beach), pharmacy claims administration (Collier County), and staffing pools across ancillary clinical disciplines (Santa Clara County Health System) — all administrative, diagnostic, or network-management services rather than vascular surgical procedures. No recent opportunities show purchasing of or contracting for the specific surgical procedure the code describes. Firms evaluating this code should flag the mismatch with the originating procurement office before investing business development effort; the activity visible under the code today does not support a pursuit strategy aligned with vascular surgical services.
