UNSPSC 85523362 Bypass left cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broader set of health services and staffing procurements—medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—that do not map to the code's stated procedure. The code appears to capture general medical services and provider network contracting rather than a discrete vascular surgical technique. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and procurement divisions (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal governments (Long Beach, California), reflecting a mix of local benefits administration, occupational health, emergency detention care, and employee health plan management.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted a request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical benefit carve-out program through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for 3,800 active employees and retirees enrolled in an Anthem PPO plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) with examinations performed by board-certified occupational physicians. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and surgical services (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows fragmented activity across diverse jurisdictions and service types with no clear market concentration or alignment to the nominal commodity definition.
