UNSPSC 85522182: Bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 05114AY

UNSPSC 85522182 Bypass hemiazygos vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that presents a significant source-to-practice mismatch. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vein-bypass procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and inpatient hospital care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the vascular procedure the code nominally describes. The opportunities instead reflect state and local government procurement of clinical evaluation, administrative health-benefit management, and provider staffing services—work that does not align with the code's stated surgical scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all or proxy for medical services work more broadly, rather than for the specialized vascular procedure the taxonomy intends.

Recent opportunities originate from city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), with no standout repeat buyer across the tagged opportunities. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for its PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, two-year term with three one-year renewal options), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry terminals and facilities (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options to extend up to five additional years), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope.
