UNSPSC 85522636: Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 051Q4AY

UNSPSC 85522636 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but state and local governments have not used this code to procure the procedure itself. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch: they solicit medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical-procedure carve-out networks — none of which represent the code's nominal scope of a defined vascular bypass technique. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure classification. No state or local procurement opportunities in the source materially involve procurement of the specific surgical service the code names.

The opportunities actually posted under this code reflect broader health-care administrative and staffing services: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out networks and Centers of Excellence for employee health plans (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the administrative and staffing services actually being bought suggests either a coding error in the source data or a systematic misalignment of this Commodity code to state and local procurement activity. Pursue this code only if your firm operates in surgical procedure networks, occupational health, or medical benefits administration — but verify the actual work scope with the issuing body before responding.
