This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right hand vein to upper vein with autologous arterial 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 051G0AY

UNSPSC 85523160 (Bypass right hand vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach), a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities linked to this code center on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or surgical interventions at the commodity level. The code appears to be a procurement taxonomy mismatch; issuing bodies are using it to tag administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing arrangements rather than specific clinical procedures or supplies. State and local solicitations under this tag include city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies seeking contracted medical administration and health staffing services.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31); the City of Long Beach issuing an RFP for a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out program for its Anthem PPO members (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026, contract start targeted April 1, 2027); and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, five-year pool). The code's taxonomy assignment does not track the buying activity; firms pursuing work in health administration, occupational medicine, benefits management, or temporary clinical staffing should monitor activity under the broader health services families rather than rely on this commodity code alone.
