UNSPSC 85524179: Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary 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 05184ZY

UNSPSC 85524179 Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which represent the procedural intervention the code describes. This mismatch suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities or that the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment in the source is erroneous.

The recent opportunities under this code span state health agencies, county governments, and municipal entities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) is requesting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity appears scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas with no concentration pattern. Given the absence of a coherent procurement category aligned with the code's nominal scope, pursuit under this code designation does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in medical services, occupational health, employee benefits administration, or staffing procurement.
