UNSPSC 85522156: Bypass left subclavian vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left subclavian vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05164KY

UNSPSC 85522156 Bypass left subclavian vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in practice does not map to actual state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code's definition. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or in error across a range of health services and medical staffing solicitations. The code shows no coherent purchasing pattern aligned to its nominal scope.

The opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County) jurisdictions, posted between July and September 2026, with response dates between September 25 and October 16, 2026. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city procurement bureaus, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure definition and the actual scope of health services being solicited — staffing, pharmacy administration, occupational health surveillance, and benefits management — signals that this code is not a reliable vehicle for tracking state and local procurement in any single commodity or service family and warrants administrative clarification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
