UNSPSC 85521781: Bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with synthetic 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 05110JY

UNSPSC 85521781 Bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little or no alignment with vascular bypass surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which correspond to the surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC assignment or that state and local agencies are using this code inconsistently with its definition. State and local governments are not currently soliciting vascular surgical services or surgical supplies under this code in the recent record.

The recent opportunities tied to this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual procurement scope demonstrated in recent solicitations, this code warrants manual review before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
