UNSPSC 85522321: Bypass left face vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left face vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 051V0KY

UNSPSC 85522321, Bypass left face vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this identifier involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the procurement or delivery of a vascular bypass surgical procedure or related implants. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedural name and the operational purchasing activity suggests either miscoding at the source or a fundamental gap between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices actually tag health services and benefits-administration work.

The recent opportunities in the dataset originate from diverse issuing bodies—municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County)—but none target vascular surgical procedures, surgical implants, or the device and material procurement that the UNSPSC code nominally describes. Given the absence of any opportunity matching the code's stated scope, firms pursuing vascular bypass implants or related surgical supply contracts should treat this code as inactive in state and local procurement and rely on alternative classification or direct outreach to health systems and surgical centers rather than monitoring UNSPSC 85522321.
