UNSPSC 85523954: Bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, 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 051H47Y

UNSPSC 85523954 Bypass left hand vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the vascular surgical procedure the code purports to identify. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in the source data or state and local procurement offices are not currently sourcing vascular bypass procedures under this specific UNSPSC classification.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span diverse jurisdictions: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal benefits administration (City of Long Beach). The opportunities themselves reflect administrative healthcare purchasing—benefits management, occupational health programs, staffing pools, and medical evaluation services—rather than procurement of surgical supplies or procedures. Geographic activity appears across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the actual work being bought. Prospecting under this code would require clarification from issuing bodies about their intended UNSPSC classification and the actual services or products they require.
