UNSPSC 85502834: Bypass right 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 right 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 031H0KG

UNSPSC 85502834 Bypass right common carotid artery to intracranial 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 appears to reference a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe or procure the bypass surgical procedure the code nominally names. This mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using it as a catch-all for health-related services outside its specific surgical scope.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara Health System (California). No pattern of activity specific to the bypass procedure code emerges from these records, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical intervention it nominally describes.
