UNSPSC 85523393: Bypass right axillary vein to upper vein with autologous 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 autologous 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 051707Y

UNSPSC 85523393 Bypass right axillary vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reveal a substantial mismatch: the code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve the named vascular surgical procedure or related vascular grafting work. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, a municipal government, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a county health system, reflecting fragmented procurement across municipal, county, and state-level health and human services functions.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. The only opportunity with a concrete connection to vascular or surgical services is the City of Long Beach's RFP 26753 (Surgery Benefit for Health PPO Plan, due October 7, 2026), which seeks a Center of Excellence network managing bundled surgical payments for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures—a managed-care intermediary role rather than a direct surgical procedure procurement. The UNSPSC coding appears to reflect a data-entry error or a jurisdiction's misalignment of service categories with procedural taxonomies. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether procurement opportunities are actually tagged correctly or whether the code represents residual or legacy cataloging with minimal current activity in state and local purchasing.
