UNSPSC 85521552: Bypass intracranial 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 intracranial 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 051L4JY

UNSPSC 85521552 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care-outs for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations procure the intracranial bypass procedure or related implantable medical devices; the code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch with the underlying work being purchased.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities span multiple states (Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington) and multiple service lines—occupational health administration, disability pension determinations, health plan management, staffing placement, and detention facility medical support—but none directly correspond to cardiovascular or neurosurgical implant procurement. The code shows no coherent pattern of actual state and local buying activity under its stated scope. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification before committing resources, as the published code does not reflect the substance of posted solicitations.
