UNSPSC 85502824: Bypass left common carotid artery to intracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common carotid artery to intracranial 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 031J0KG

UNSPSC 85502824 Bypass left common carotid artery to intracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that appear tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent distinct health services and benefits administration work that do not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific neurosurgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical procedure classification and how state and local health procurement is actually structured in practice.

State and local governments do not appear to solicit for individual surgical techniques as standalone line items. The recent opportunities sourced under this code reflect instead their purchasing of health services, staffing, and benefits management—categories more commonly classified under clinical staffing, occupational health services, employee benefits administration, or managed care services codes. Without evidence of actual state or local procurement demand for the specific surgical procedure named in UNSPSC 85502824, the code does not appear to merit active pursuit at this time.
