This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open 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 051H09Y

UNSPSC 85523155, Bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a vascular bypass graft using the patient's own vein — yet recent opportunities posted under or near this code do not align with procurement of the procedure itself or related clinical supplies and devices. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care-out networks for employee health plans, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these involve vascular surgical procedures, vein grafts, or the procurement of autologous tissue transplantation supplies.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no pattern suggesting concentrated activity under the code's nominal scope. The recent postings—including the Washington State Ferries occupational health RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026)—are administrative and staffing services rather than surgical procedure procurement. The code appears to carry a tagging error, and state and local procurement professionals should verify actual buying intent before pursuing work under this category.
