This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue 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 05190KY

UNSPSC 85523377 Bypass right brachial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The posted opportunities show no surgical procedure codes or vascular bypass work; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit administration—none of which map to the procedural terminology in the code's nominal scope. The code appears to carry a medical procedure descriptor that conflicts with how state and local purchasing offices actually classify health services work.

Recent activity under this code shows little if any relevant procurement volume. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) are tagged with this code but concern physician examination services and disability benefit administration rather than surgical procedures. The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty medical services and the Santa Clara Health System temporary clinical staffing qualification solicitation similarly reflect broad healthcare administration and staffing, not vascular surgery. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification hierarchy with the issuing jurisdictions' procurement offices, as the code's procedural definition does not reflect the health services and staffing work currently being solicited under it.
