UNSPSC 85523383: Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary 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 05180KY

UNSPSC 85523383 Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that the state and local procurement taxonomy has applied to medical services and health program administration work that does not align with its surgical-procedure scope. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out programs for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which describe or purchase surgical vein-bypass procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification in state and local systems rather than an active procurement category for the anatomical procedure it nominally names. Issuing bodies using the code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services reflecting approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending. The code shows no meaningful recent activity purchasing the medical procedures its name describes; business development pursuit should focus on verifying correct UNSPSC classification with procurement offices before assuming code alignment with surgical offerings.
