UNSPSC 85521554: Bypass intracranial 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 intracranial 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 051L49Y

UNSPSC 85521554 Bypass intracranial vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for neurovascular bypass, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. These solicitations reflect administrative and clinical support services tied to government employee benefits and facility operations rather than the specialized neurosurgical intervention the code nominally covers.

The mismatch between code scope and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or a coding error in the source data. The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice authority (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara)—spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without recent opportunities that genuinely reflect neurovascular surgical procedures or implant procurement, no meaningful assessment of activity or vendor pursuit potential under this code's actual scope is possible based on the source material provided.
