UNSPSC 85523361: Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 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 051F0AY

UNSPSC 85523361 Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either tagging errors in the source data or an administrative artifact where medical services procurements are defaulting to this code without regard to the procedure-specific nomenclature.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extensions), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 go-live). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; pursuit decisions should treat this code as currently inactive for vascular surgical procedures and focus instead on the health services administration and staffing categories where state and local demand is evident.
