UNSPSC 85522187: Bypass azygos vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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, 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 05104JY

UNSPSC 85522187 Bypass azygos vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the vein bypass procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this Commodity code inconsistently or that the opportunities have been miscategorized at the source.

The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the recent opportunities bear no operational relationship to the code's stated scope, this Commodity code presents no meaningful signal for vendors pursuing work in bypass vein procedures or related surgical implants under state and local contracts. Prospective bidders should verify code assignment before investing in pursuit of opportunities flagged under this number.
