This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left innominate vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85522169 Bypass left innominate vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical descriptor does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations show no vascular surgical procedures or vascular bypass materials being procured. Instead, the opportunities reveal that state and local health systems, counties, and public safety pension boards are using this code tag to solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and actual buying activity suggests either a systemic tagging error or that this commodity code is being used as a catch-all medical services classifier within participating state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals with a two-year term and optional five-year extension due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value; the City of Long Beach requesting surgical Centers of Excellence benefit carve-outs for its Anthem PPO plan due October 7, 2026; Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026 with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spend; and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a non-exclusive multiple-award temporary health professional staffing pool due October 7, 2026. The code shows no concentrated geographic pattern; activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas.
