UNSPSC 85522337: Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous 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 autologous 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 051Q07Y

UNSPSC 85522337 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with this code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC identifier involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure the code describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local procurement offices appear to have mismatched this code to broader healthcare administration and staffing services rather than the surgical intervention the Commodity code names.

The mismatch between code and solicitation content renders this code an unreliable signal for business development targeting. Vendors pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should verify actual code assignments in RFP documents before relying on UNSPSC taxonomy to identify relevant opportunities, and should monitor the specific issuers posting under this code—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—for any future correction or clarification in procurement notices. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the absence of demand signals for the actual procedure limits actionability under this code's stated definition.
