This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right cephalic vein to upper vein, open approach.

UNSPSC 85523364 Bypass right cephalic vein to upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with vascular surgery or any medical procedure coding. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or operative techniques. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a systemic tagging error. State and local health systems, county human resources divisions, pension boards, and juvenile probation departments are the issuing bodies appearing in recent postings.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Texas, Washington, and Florida based on recent solicitations. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a proposal deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a proposal deadline of October 16, 2026 and maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for surgical care networks and Centers of Excellence programs with a proposal deadline of October 7, 2026; and Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants investigation as to whether these opportunities have been tagged correctly or whether the code itself has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems.
