UNSPSC 85521787: Bypass azygos 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 azygos 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 05100JY

UNSPSC 85521787 Bypass azygos vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular bypass grafting — yet the recent opportunities show no solicitations for this or any related clinical procedure. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network carve-outs, temporary ancillary health staffing, and emergency detention medical services. These are health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing domains that fall outside the code's surgical-procedure scope. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), state transportation departments (Washington), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (Long Beach). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern of concentration.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical procedure procurement. A business development professional pursuing actual surgical-procedure services — implants, graft materials, operative supplies, or surgical vendor relationships — should not rely on this code to identify state and local demand. The opportunities that are tagged here represent entirely different procurement families: health plan administration (pharmacy, surgical network benefits), occupational medicine, medical staffing, and detention healthcare are distinct from procedural surgery delivery. This code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns and appears misapplied to the tagged solicitations.
