UNSPSC 85524175: Bypass right brachial vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right brachial vein to upper vein with synthetic 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 05194JY

UNSPSC 85524175 Bypass right brachial vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet recent solicitations issued by state and local agencies under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or implantable medical devices. This disconnect suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a systematic misapplication of the code to health services activities for which it is not designed.

The recent posting activity spans six months (July–September 2026) across geographically dispersed jurisdictions including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating either fragmented coding practices or inconsistent use of UNSPSC hierarchies across state and local procurement offices. Issuing bodies include city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county procurement divisions—a broad institutional mix with no pattern suggesting this code is a reliable signal for any coherent commodity or service line. The solicitations themselves (RFP, RFI, RFSQ) address health services administration, staffing, and benefit management, all of which exist in distinct UNSPSC families unrelated to surgical procedures or medical devices. Vendors pursuing procurement under this code should treat it as a low-confidence signal and validate against the actual scope of work in each solicitation's full documentation rather than relying on the code name to describe opportunity.
