UNSPSC 85501155: Bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

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 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 031L0JK

UNSPSC 85501155 Bypass left internal carotid artery to left extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — vascular bypass grafting — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the surgical procedure itself, its components, or related implants or devices. State and local governments do not appear to be buying this specific bypass procedure or its inputs as a standalone commodity.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the opportunities posted under it suggests a UNSPSC classification error in the source data. The recent opportunities reflect purchasing of medical services, program administration, and workforce staffing rather than acquisition of a defined surgical product. Because the code shows no material recent activity in its stated domain, practitioners evaluating this commodity code for business development purposes should treat it as inactive in the current state and local procurement environment.
