UNSPSC 85521761: Bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein, open 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 05150ZY

UNSPSC 85521761 Bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no operational connection to vascular surgery or any clinical procedural work. The most recent solicitations under this code instead reflect state and local demand for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out program management—none of which align with the code's stated scope. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement for the procedure it nominally describes.

The six opportunities posted between August 20 and September 16, 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories). Solicitations originate from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code descriptor and the actual work being procured suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement databases or that the code is being used as a default or administrative placeholder for health services procurement more broadly. Firms pursuing opportunities in this code should verify the actual clinical or administrative scope required in each opportunity notice rather than relying on the code name alone.
