UNSPSC 85522630, Bypass right face vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The code's nominal scope describes a particular vascular surgical intervention, but the actual work being solicited under this UNSPSC across state and local jurisdictions covers a broad range of medical administration and staffing services that bear no relationship to the coded procedure.

The mismatch between the code and the work actually being purchased indicates either a systematic miscoding issue across multiple jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-related contracting outside its intended scope. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code — including the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara — are soliciting medical administration, occupational health services, pharmaceutical management, temporary staffing, and procedure carve-outs, not the surgical procedure the code names. Pursue this code only if your firm provides medical administration or occupational health services and can monitor whether issuing bodies correct the coding over time; otherwise, treat the activity as misclassified and monitor higher-level medical services codes for properly tagged opportunities.
