UNSPSC 85521540: Bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, 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 051N4JY

UNSPSC 85521540 Bypass left internal jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code for a specific cardiac or vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments buying occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which align with vascular bypass implants or their procedural delivery. The code shows little relevant recent activity to business development professionals pursuing state and local procurement in medical devices or surgical supplies; the tagging appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than genuine demand for vascular surgical materials or services under this commodity designation.

The six opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems and human resources departments, and state transportation agencies. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, firms should verify whether individual opportunities are mislabeled before pursuing.
