This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with synthetic 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 051R0JY

UNSPSC 85521134, Bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that designates a specific surgical procedure code within medical taxonomy; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect no actual procurement of this vascular surgical service and instead show substantial mismatch between the code designation and the work being solicited. The opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or surgical implantation of synthetic vascular substitutes. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, representing a mix of municipal retirement administrations, city employee benefit programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice operations, and county health systems.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida based on the recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 total maximum compensation over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out management (proposals due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 contract execution), and the County of Santa Clara's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes; procurement professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects a data-entry error or category misclassification rather than genuine market demand for vascular bypass implantation services.
