This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein, 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 051F0ZY

UNSPSC 85523358 Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vein-graft procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's surgical scope. Instead, the code appears to be applied to healthcare administration and occupational health contracting — inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and EMS medical direction. These solicitations involve administrative healthcare services, utilization management, formulary oversight, and clinical governance rather than vascular surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to procurements it does not describe.

The issuing bodies include a county prison system (Muscogee County, Georgia), two county health and human services departments (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual procurements tagged under it, vendors pursuing these opportunities should treat the UNSPSC code as an administrative labeling error and evaluate each solicitation on its stated scope of work independently.
