UNSPSC 85523156: Bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, 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 051H07Y

UNSPSC 85523156 "Bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's surgical scope. The sourced opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which directly concern vein bypass procedures or surgical implantation services. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities have been tagged to this code, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for general medical procurement across multiple service lines rather than for the specific procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health agencies and departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government entities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities posted between July and August 2026 span Washington State (occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (disability medical record summary and evaluation), California (specialty surgical carve-out for a municipal employer, and temporary ancillary health staffing), Florida (pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (emergency medical services for youth detention). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Vendors considering pursuit should verify the intended code assignment with issuing bodies, as the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85523156 does not map cleanly to current procurement activity.
