UNSPSC 85521550: Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass intracranial vein to upper vein, 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 051L4ZY

UNSPSC 85521550 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—are tagged to this code but address healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and staffing rather than the neurovascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry itself does not reflect how state and local buyers classify healthcare procurement. None of the opportunities solicit neurosurgical devices, implants, or procedure-specific supplies.

Because the recent opportunities do not match the code's stated scope, this code shows no actionable activity for vendors providing the named bypass procedure or related vascular surgical products. Pursuit under this UNSPSC number is not warranted unless your firm operates in healthcare administration, benefits consulting, occupational health services, or clinical staffing—categories for which the code appears to serve as a catch-all despite nomenclature. Verify code alignment with your customer procurement office before bid preparation.
