UNSPSC 85502832: Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery, 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 031H0ZG

UNSPSC 85502832 Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose taxonomy designation does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve carotid-artery bypass procedures. The mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or that the source data conflates distinct procurement categories. State and local governments are not currently soliciting carotid bypass procedures under UNSPSC 85502832.

The recent opportunities instead reflect health services administration and staffing across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). No clear geographic or issuing-body concentration appears in the records, and the substantive work spans medical record review, occupational health compliance, pharmacy claims processing, and temporary clinical staffing. Until the code taxonomy is corrected or the tagged opportunities realigned to appropriate UNSPSC classifications, this code does not provide actionable market signals for health care service procurement.
