UNSPSC 85521536: Bypass right 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 right 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 051R49Y

UNSPSC 85521536 Bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little relevance to the nominal scope. The opportunities posted against the code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), suggesting the code may be misapplied or used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health services procurement rather than for the specific surgical intervention it names.

Recent activity shows no meaningful concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 on August 26, 2026 for surgical benefit carve-out services for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code shows little activity genuinely aligned with vascular surgical procedures and warrants verification before committing pursuit resources.
