UNSPSC 85512408: Bypass splenic artery to left renal artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass splenic artery to left renal artery with synthetic substitute, 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 04140J4

UNSPSC 85512408 Bypass splenic artery to left renal artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not involve vascular bypass surgery or related clinical equipment and supplies. Instead, recent solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing placement, emergency and specialty healthcare delivery for youth in custody, and comprehensive medical services contracting—none of which falls within the procedural scope of the code's stated name.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county commissioners, health consortiums, and county probation departments across multiple states. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no single jurisdiction showing repeated solicitation patterns. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP); and the City of Long Beach soliciting surgical benefit carve-out management for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFP). The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the breadth and nature of recent procurement activity suggests that this code may be incorrectly assigned to general medical services procurement, or that state and local tagging practices do not align with the UNSPSC taxonomy definition.
