UNSPSC 85524168: Bypass left brachial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left brachial vein to upper vein with nonautologous 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 051A4KY

UNSPSC 85524168 Bypass left brachial vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, despite its clinical procedure name, does not reflect the actual services state and local governments are procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which align with the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and health systems. This code appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than a legitimate procurement category in active use for its stated clinical procedure.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and procurement types. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for disability medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System established a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with a historical annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million, though the source deadline of April 9, 2026 has passed. The code shows no meaningful recent activity for its stated clinical scope and warrants review for potential miscoding in the state and local procurement source system.
