UNSPSC 85502833: Bypass right common carotid artery to right extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right common carotid artery to right 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 031H0KJ

UNSPSC 85502833 Bypass right common carotid artery to right extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations posted under this code in the source material span independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgical carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which are surgical bypass procedures or operative services. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the opportunity tagging or misalignment between the code's clinical descriptor and the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code's taxonomy placement.

The recent opportunities show activity across city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county benefits consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. If the code is intended to capture medical services procurement more broadly, the mix reflects ongoing state and local demand for managed medical evaluation, benefits administration, occupational compliance services, and temporary clinical staffing — but the code's specific nomenclature does not clarify this broader scope. Readers should verify the actual UNSPSC classification applied to opportunities of interest before pursuing work under this code.
