This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery, 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 031L0ZK

UNSPSC 85501153 Bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code names a specific surgical procedure, yet the most-recent opportunities tagged to it reflect administrative and occupational health services rather than operative procedures or surgical supply procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001) addresses disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) solicits baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753) seeks Centers of Excellence networks for procedure routing, not direct procurement of the surgical intervention itself. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool round out the tagged opportunities, none of which target the specific vascular surgical procedure the code describes.

Geographic activity under these opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County), with response dates clustered between September and October 2026. The issuing bodies are city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation authorities—a mix reflecting administrative healthcare functions and occupational health compliance rather than surgical procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests this code either receives minimal state and local tagging or is being applied to healthcare administration categories that do not align with its surgical classification.
