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 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 031N09K

UNSPSC 85502815 Bypass left external carotid artery to left extracranial artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical procedure carve-outs — do not involve this procedure and diverge substantially from the code's scope. The mismatch suggests either classification error at the issuing level or that this code is not a primary vehicle for state and local procurement in this clinical domain.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries personnel across fourteen Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026).
