UNSPSC 85521142, Bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to vascular bypass surgery — they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. None of these procurements involve the vascular surgical procedure the code names.

The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data classification error in the underlying records.

No active vascular surgical contracting activity is evident in the recent opportunities block.
