UNSPSC 85521789: Bypass azygos vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass azygos vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, 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 051009Y

UNSPSC 85521789 Bypass azygos vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract activity under this code shows little direct alignment with its stated scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular bypass grafting or the procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and city health plans (City of Long Beach). This pattern suggests either a systematic miscoding of opportunities or limited genuine procurement activity under the specific procedure code itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-vehicle RFP for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope — a vascular surgical procedure — does not align with the health administration and occupational health services actually being solicited, vendors pursuing this code should verify the correct commodity classification for their service line rather than assume alignment between the code number and current procurement intent.
