UNSPSC 85521551: Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue 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 051L4KY

UNSPSC 85521551 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it procure occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve intracranial vein bypass procedures or the clinical intervention the code nominates.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect general state and local health and benefits administration rather than the narrowly specified procedure. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summaries for pension boards, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominates; procurement analysts should verify the classification or consider whether the code assignment reflects a data-entry error rather than a meaningful match to current state and local health service demand.
