UNSPSC 85523389: Bypass right 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 right 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 05170KY

UNSPSC 85523389 Bypass right axillary vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the code appears to be tagged inconsistently across a range of health benefit and occupational medical service solicitations that bear no direct relationship to the vascular bypass procedure named in the code definition. The recent opportunities solicited include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees — none of which involve the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent notices posted between July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or abandonment of this code in favor of broader health services classifications.
