UNSPSC 85502065: Bypass innominate artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass innominate artery to left 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 031209K

UNSPSC 85502065 Bypass innominate artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employee plans, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve the named vascular bypass procedure. This mismatch indicates the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurement and reflects a classification error rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.

The recent opportunities show solicitation across multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The scope represents administrative health services and staffing rather than surgical procedures. With no evidence of actual procurement under the code's nominal definition, the Commodity does not warrant pursuit as currently classified.
