UNSPSC 85501162: Bypass right internal carotid artery to right extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right internal carotid artery to right extracranial 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 031K09J

UNSPSC 85501162, "Bypass right internal carotid artery to right extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach," is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its surgical-procedure description. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either coding error in the source data or the code's use as a placeholder by issuing bodies without relevance to vascular surgery procurement.

The few opportunities present span issuing bodies across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these opportunities reflect the vascular surgery scope that the code nominally describes, limiting the utility of this code for tracking relevant state and local procurement activity in that domain.
