UNSPSC 85521129: Bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 051S0AY

UNSPSC 85521129 Bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity—the code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare, none of which align with the code's vascular surgery scope. The issuing bodies span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county jurisdictions (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), but the procurement activities being solicited do not match the code's medical service classification.

The geographic distribution includes Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas based on recent postings, but the mismatch between the code's nominal surgical procedure and the actual services being procured—occupational health examinations, benefits administration, staffing placement, and medical record review—signals either a data-entry error in code assignment or a systemic tagging problem. Vendors pursuing vascular surgical procedures, prosthetics, or related orthopedic implants should not rely on this code's recent-opportunities list to identify relevant state and local demand. The code does not currently surface genuine procurement activity aligned with its UNSPSC definition.
