This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right hand vein to upper vein with nonautologous 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 051G0KY

UNSPSC 85523158 Bypass right hand vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no direct relationship to vascular surgery or implantable tissue substitutes. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited: the City of Phoenix is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is requesting Pharmacy Benefit Management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve the procurement of bypass grafting procedures, vascular surgery services, or implantable medical devices.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The geographic distribution of tagged opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, but each represents administrative healthcare management, benefits contracting, or staffing procurement rather than procurement of the surgical procedure itself. State and local procurement under this code does not reflect actual purchasing of vascular bypass surgery services or related implantable materials; instead, the tag appears to reflect miscoding or system miscategorization within the issuing jurisdictions' procurement databases. Business development professionals evaluating state and local opportunities under this code should treat it as dormant for direct procurement activity and instead focus on higher-tier healthcare service codes if pursuing government health services work.
