This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left cephalic 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 051F0KY

UNSPSC 85523359, Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that exhibits a substantial mismatch between its abstract medical-procedural name and the state and local contracting activity it currently classifies. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect vascular surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs. The code's nominal scope — a specific arteriovenous bypass surgical technique — does not align with the administrative healthcare services, staffing arrangements, and benefits management work that state and local governments are actually procuring under it. This tagging misalignment suggests either a data classification error in the opportunities themselves or a broader indexing issue within state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies without cohesion around the code's stated scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of the Washington State Ferries) posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs with a due date of October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing with a due date of October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth with a due date of September 25, 2026. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Florida, and Texas. Given the absence of vascular surgical procurement activity and the disconnect between the code's procedural description and the administrative and staffing services currently tagged under it, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing work aligned with its nominal scope.
