UNSPSC 85522642: Bypass right 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 right 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 051P4AY

UNSPSC 85522642 Bypass right external jugular vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this taxonomy entry focus on occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans—none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its actual scope, or that the indexing may not reflect the clinical services state and local governments are actively procuring.

The recent opportunities present do span a geographic range including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. However, because these opportunities are not substantively related to the vascular surgery code itself, they do not constitute a meaningful market signal for the stated commodity. Prospective vendors should verify whether this code remains actively used for state and local procurement or whether reclassification may be warranted.
