UNSPSC 85523360: Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with synthetic 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 051F0JY

UNSPSC 85523360 Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity aligned with that scope. The opportunities record instead encompass occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency hospital services — none of which involve vascular surgery or the specific procedural intervention the code nominally names. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of health administration and staffing services appearing in the source suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic misalignment between how this UNSPSC category is defined and how state and local procurement offices are applying it in practice.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources and procurement departments (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human services divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards ($750,000 maximum over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with recent procurement activity, pursuing work under this classification warrants verification that the code assignment reflects actual work scope rather than administrative error.
