UNSPSC 85501167: Bypass intracranial artery to intracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass intracranial artery to intracranial 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 031G09G

UNSPSC 85501167 Bypass intracranial artery to intracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension systems, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern intracranial bypass procedures or surgical implant procurement; they address health plan administration, occupational health screening, emergency medical services delivery, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to be misapplied to administrative and operational healthcare services rather than the specific neurosurgical procedure the Commodity designation implies.

The source shows no relevant recent opportunities aligned with the actual scope of intracranial bypass procedures. Buyers pursuing this code should flag a potential classification mismatch with the issuing jurisdictions and request code clarification, as the posted opportunities (from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System across Arizona, California, and Washington) all relate to healthcare service procurement and administration rather than surgical procedures or medical devices. No hard information supports that state and local governments are currently sourcing intracranial bypass surgery or associated equipment through this UNSPSC designation.
