UNSPSC 85502812: Bypass left external carotid artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external 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 031N0KK

UNSPSC 85502812 Bypass left external carotid artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to the vascular surgical procedure named in the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and how state and local procurement systems are applying the code in practice.

Given the absence of solicitations actually seeking the procedure described in the code's scope, pursuit under UNSPSC 85502812 is not viable at present. The source does not indicate whether this code has generated legitimate state or local demand in prior periods or whether it represents a dormant category within the state and local procurement universe.
