UNSPSC 85524170: Bypass left brachial vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 051A4AY

UNSPSC 85524170 Bypass left brachial vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities instead span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure named in the code itself. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). This mix reflects the breadth of state and local healthcare administration rather than procedural surgery procurement.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at up to $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes; procurement professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects data-entry error or whether it is being used as a catchall for healthcare services administration across state and local jurisdictions.
