UNSPSC 85521150 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy label does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities instead reflect solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits, specialty surgical procedure carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and related healthcare administration and vendor-pool qualification services. State and local governments are buying administrative medical services, benefits management, and provider network coordination rather than surgical procedures on the intracranial venous system. The issuing bodies include city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employees' benefit programs. Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County).

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services—baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with a two-year initial term and optional extensions. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. Collier County issued an RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows little activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure taxonomy and should be treated as misclassified in current posting systems.
