UNSPSC 85521530: Bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic 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 051S49Y

UNSPSC 85521530 Bypass left vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve bypass grafting or vascular surgery procedures. The mismatch suggests either consistent miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local procurement offices are currently tagging opportunities.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across four states: 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). Response dates range from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (the Collier County PBM RFP appears to use a backdated deadline). No opportunity in the block addresses vascular surgical procedures, vessel grafting, or endoscopic vascular interventions. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the actual scope in any solicitation abstract before investing in bid preparation, as the code's assignment appears unreliable.
