This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, 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 051Q09Y

UNSPSC 85522336 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either a data error in the source material or an inappropriate code assignment to these procurement records.

The recent solicitations do reveal a mix of issuing bodies and geographic spread across health-related services: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). However, because these opportunities bear no substantive relationship to the code's stated scope, neither the issuing-body mix nor the representative examples serve as a reliable signal for pursuing activity under this Commodity code. Firms should verify the correct code classification before investing business development effort.
