UNSPSC 85521766: Bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, 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 051507Y

UNSPSC 85521766 Bypass right subclavian vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local contract opportunities recently posted under this code concern occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employees and retirees—none of which involve subclavian vein bypass procedures or surgical implantation services. The source shows no recent solicitations for the actual surgical procedure the code nominates.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the posted opportunities signals either a data-tagging error or misclassification in the underlying procurement platform. State and local buyers do contract for occupational health services, employee health benefit administration, and specialty medical networks, but those activities should map to distinct UNSPSC codes within healthcare services or benefits administration, not to a procedure-specific surgical code. Firms pursuing the actual work represented in the opportunities—occupational medicine examinations (Washington State Ferries), independent disability evaluations (City of Phoenix), employee surgical benefit networks (City of Long Beach), pharmacy management (Collier County), and temporary health staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—should verify the correct UNSPSC classifications for those service categories rather than rely on this code as a reliable buying signal.
