UNSPSC 85522634: Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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, percutaneous endoscopic 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 051Q4KY

UNSPSC 85522634 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a vascular bypass technique — yet the recent opportunities posted under it span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing. These solicitations are administrative, occupational health, or benefits-management in nature and do not involve surgical procedures or vascular interventions of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local systems or a structural misalignment between the code's clinical specificity and how state and local buyers are classifying their health services procurements.

The recent opportunities themselves—Phoenix's request for disability medical evaluations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out program (RFP, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026), Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFP, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP, due April 9, 2026)—indicate that state and local buyers are actively seeking health services contractors, but none of these solicitations involve the surgical procedure named in the code. No bidding opportunity in the block reflects vascular surgery, interventional radiology, or any procedural clinical work. State and local procurement under this code shows no relevant recent activity; vendors in surgical services, vascular access, or interventional specialties should monitor other code families for procurement aligned with their capabilities.
