UNSPSC 85523385: Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial 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 05180AY

UNSPSC 85523385 Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or the specific procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-integrity issue in how the opportunities were tagged to this code.

The geographic spread of the limited relevant opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation pre-bid on occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Because the code shows no authentic alignment with surgical vascular procedures and the opportunities tagged to it address unrelated healthcare administration and staffing services, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors focused on vascular surgery or cardiovascular interventions.
