UNSPSC 85521151: Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous 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 051L0KY

UNSPSC 85521151 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged under it seek occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for benefits administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which are intracranial bypass surgeries. The mismatch indicates either a data classification error or a systemic miscoding of medical and health services procurement under this anatomical-procedure code.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' disability evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), California (Long Beach City health benefits surgical carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026), Washington (WSDOT Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county human resources divisions. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned with its nominal scope, and business development professionals should verify the intended UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
