This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue 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 031L0KK

UNSPSC 85501154 Bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific surgical-procedure framing does not match the scope of opportunities posted across the public sector in 2026. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code designation that has drifted substantially from current procurement practice.

The recent-opportunities block shows activity from Phoenix (Arizona), Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California) — a geographically dispersed set of state and county health systems, retirement boards, and transit authorities. No pattern of repeat buyers under this code emerges from the available record, and the opportunities themselves span administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing rather than any coherent surgical or medical procedure line. If your firm pursues opportunities under this code, reconcile the code designation with the actual work scope before responding; issuing bodies may have applied the code incorrectly, or the code may no longer track meaningful procurement activity in state and local markets.
