UNSPSC 85523455: Bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous venous 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 051C09Y

UNSPSC 85523455 Bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical vascular procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no direct purchasing under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for vascular bypass surgery, surgical supplies, or related clinical procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect health services contracting in entirely different categories—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth. None of these align with procurement of a specific surgical procedure or vascular graft materials.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how the opportunities were tagged to this UNSPSC code or that state and local procurement offices rarely use Commodity-level clinical procedure codes for their actual buying. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes; if pursuing work related to vascular surgical procedures or materials, verify the correct UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on this code's current tagging.
