This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left basilic 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 051C0AY

UNSPSC 85523454 Bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code is tagged to a highly specific surgical procedure description, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular bypass grafting or related surgical services. Instead, the most recently tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which align with the vein-grafting procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by posting agencies or assignment of the code to medical services opportunities that happen to fall within a broad healthcare taxonomy tier rather than the specific procedural service line the code identifies.

The opportunities that carry this code tag originate from diverse issuing bodies including state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent activity clusters in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representatives include WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit reviews at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool RFP due October 7, 2026 across multiple ancillary clinical categories. Given the disconnect between code description and actual procurement activity, firms should verify coding accuracy with issuing agencies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
