UNSPSC 85521771 Bypass left innominate vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code number. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgery benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which relates to vascular surgical procedure coding. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope (a specific cardiothoracic surgical technique) and the health care services, staffing, and benefits administration work that procurement offices have actually tagged to it in live solicitations.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no clear repeat pattern across jurisdictions. Recent activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach surgery benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414, with historical annual spending near $8.7 million), and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code's application to state and local procurement appears to be a data classification error rather than a meaningful procurement category; vendors should verify the actual scope of work in the underlying RFP documents before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code number.
