UNSPSC 85502818: Bypass right external carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic 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 031M0JJ

UNSPSC 85502818, Bypass right external carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that has little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical bypass procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the implantation of synthetic vascular grafts or carotid artery bypass surgery as a procurable product or service. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding or that state and local health systems and counties are using this code as a catch-all for health services contracts without regard to procedure-level taxonomy precision.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are diverse — county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city governments (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), county commissioners (Collier County Board), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Given the absence of opportunities actually involving vascular surgery procurement or device acquisition, this code does not present a clear pursue signal for vendors in surgical implant supply, vascular care, or clinical bypass-procedure services. If you have a client offering occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, or pharmacy management services, tag-under activity exists, but it reflects procurement system noise rather than genuine demand for the carotid bypass procedure this code nominally describes.
