This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right 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 051G09Y

UNSPSC 85523161 Bypass right hand vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with this code's surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local markets span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or autologous venous grafting. This mismatch between the code's procedural title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or that the code is being used outside its intended scope in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county judicial authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county benefits administrators (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 five-year term); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending. Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content, pursuit under this code would require clarification with the issuing procurement office regarding the correct UNSPSC classification for the intended service line.
