UNSPSC 85504566: Bypass right axillary artery to right 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 right 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 031509J

UNSPSC 85504566 Bypass right axillary artery to right extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-out services — none of which correspond to the procurement or delivery of a discrete vascular bypass procedure. The code appears to be a data-tagging mismatch reflecting healthcare billing nomenclature rather than state or local procurement classification for goods or services that government entities actually buy.

State and local issuers—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are sourcing temporary clinical staffing, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy administration, independent medical evaluation, and specialty surgical networks across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The recent opportunities span RFPs, RFQs, and an RFI with response dates between September and October 2026, but they reflect core healthcare administration and staffing procurement rather than the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. For a business development professional evaluating pursuit under this code, the mismatch between code definition and actual state-local buying activity signals either a categorization error in the procurement database or a code that does not reflect genuine market demand for the specific service the Commodity name implies.
