UNSPSC 85523157 Bypass right hand vein to upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical vein-bypass procedure, but the state and local purchasing activity tagged to this code covers inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve vascular surgery or the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a broad misapplication of the code to general medical and health services procurement.

The source shows no recent opportunities that align with the code's stated scope. State and local procurement databases occasionally tag health services, facility management, or administrative medical work with clinical procedure codes; in this case the disconnect is severe enough that this code does not serve as a reliable signal for vascular surgery supply or services procurement at the state and local level. Business development professionals should rely on family-level or higher-tier health services codes to track state and local medical purchasing activity.
