This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg 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 315099

UNSPSC 85504571 Bypass right axillary artery to right lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with vascular surgery procurement — instead, they reflect purchases of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows a mismatch between its technical name and the actual work being procured by state and local agencies, suggesting either systematic miscoding of health-care and medical-services opportunities or an unusual categorization artifact.

Recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, due October 7, 2026), Collier County, Florida (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, proposal deadline April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services). The opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the services actually being solicited, the code appears to carry minimal decision-relevance for vendors pursuing vascular surgery or procedural medical procurement — the opportunities posted under it address health system administration, occupational health services, and contingent clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures or implantable devices.
