UNSPSC 85521152 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally designating a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with this code's medical device or implant scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 — spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative healthcare contracting, benefits program management, and staffing services, not the procurement of implantable devices, surgical supplies, or operative procedures themselves. The code appears to be a mis-tagging by state or local procurement offices classifying healthcare-related services under a clinical procedure taxonomy rather than administrative or staffing service codes.

The issuing bodies are mixed across city and county health systems, county human resources functions, and a state transportation department: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, with a $750,000 five-year contract due October 16, 2026; Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit carve-out administration with a voluntary Centers of Excellence network, due October 7, 2026; Washington State Ferries is contracting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and allied health roles), due October 7, 2026. The code itself carries no decision relevance for vendors in medical devices, surgical implants, or operative-procedure supply chains.
