UNSPSC 85522333: Bypass left external jugular 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 external jugular 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 051Q0KY

UNSPSC 85522333 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect acquisition of this medical intervention itself. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or application of this Commodity code as a catch-all for broader healthcare service categories. State and local buyers posting under this code are health systems, pension boards, county human resources divisions, and county health agencies seeking to manage, evaluate, or administer employee and beneficiary healthcare benefits and clinical operations rather than procure surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities appear across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability determinations on behalf of two public safety pension boards, with proposals due October 16, 2026 under RFP RTMRFP26001 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 under RFP 20260825. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 service categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 under RFSQHHSFY270052. The code shows fragmented activity across unrelated healthcare procurement categories with no clear repeat issuing bodies and no apparent concentration in any single state or service type.
