UNSPSC 85521143: Bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with autologous 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 051N07Y

UNSPSC 85521143 Bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific surgical procedure code borrowed from medical billing taxonomy; state and local governments do not procure surgical techniques themselves through public contracting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect health care administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which relate to the internal jugular vein bypass procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code and the actual work being bought signals either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the healthcare-services purchasing patterns of state and local bodies. No representative opportunities exist for the coded service line. Buyers seeking to pursue healthcare procurement in state and local markets should verify code assignment against actual scope before submitting responses, as this code does not reliably identify relevant solicitations in the current market.
