This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hand vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 051H4ZY

UNSPSC 85523949 Bypass left hand vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the services being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related healthcare administration and workforce services. None of these procurements involve the specific vascular bypass procedure named in the code, and the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical and health-related services that belong elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies are mixed and include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose healthcare authorities. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's procurement of independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 over five years, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multi-category temporary health professional staffing pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code itself bears no meaningful relationship to the work being bought, pursue opportunities only when your research independently confirms alignment with your service offerings rather than relying on the code tag.
