This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hand vein to upper vein, open approach.

UNSPSC 85523151, a Commodity code for bypass left hand vein to upper vein via open approach, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefits carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations concern vascular surgical procedures, bypass grafts, or the specific operative service the code nominates.

The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the broad range of healthcare administration, staffing, and medical management services actually appearing under it suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is being applied to healthcare procurement at a level of abstraction far removed from its intended use. State and local bodies soliciting under this code are purchasing benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and medical evaluation coordination—not surgical procedures. No recent opportunity aligns with the code's stated scope of vascular bypass work. Pursue this code only if your firm operates in benefits administration, occupational health services, or healthcare staffing; the code does not reflect active state and local demand for vascular surgical services.
