UNSPSC 85523368: Bypass right cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous venous 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 051D09Y

UNSPSC 85523368 Bypass right cephalic vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the named vascular bypass procedure. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that the code is being used as a proxy for broader health services contracting, though the latter does not align with UNSPSC's commodity-level specificity. The issuing bodies span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating fragmented procurement across multiple jurisdiction types and service lines unrelated to the code's stated scope.

Recent solicitations include occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (WSDOT, RFP, October 9, 2026 due date), independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations in Phoenix ($750,000 maximum over five years, RFP, October 16, 2026 due date), pharmacy benefit management for Collier County covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP, April 9, 2026 due date), temporary health professional staffing for Santa Clara County Health System across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ, October 7, 2026 due date), and a surgical benefit carve-out program for the City of Long Beach covering specialized centers of excellence for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures (RFP, October 7, 2026 due date). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the wide geographic spread and service-line diversity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington suggest the code assignment does not match procurement practice or buyer intent.
