This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right innominate 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 051307Y

UNSPSC 85521778 Bypass right innominate vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code, but none involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to vascular bypass surgery or tissue substitution procedures. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to these opportunities by issuing procurement offices.

No recent solicitations under this code reflect the scope indicated by its name. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being procured suggests either a systematic tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or that this code does not see active use in state and local government procurement at the commodity level. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85521778, as the current records provide no actionable intelligence about vascular surgical services procurement within state and local government.
