UNSPSC 85524180: Bypass left axillary 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 axillary 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 05184KY

UNSPSC 85524180, Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement activity tagged to this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the vascular surgery procedure named in the code. This systematic mismatch suggests the code is either a data-entry error in the procurement system or a significant cataloging discrepancy, and the code shows little to no relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing actual vascular surgery contracts with state and local bodies.

The six recent opportunities sourced to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with response dates between September 25, 2026 and October 16, 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026). A business development professional should treat this code with caution: the procurement system appears to be applying a surgical procedure code to health services administration, evaluation, and staffing work that would more accurately belong under health services contracting codes, making traditional UNSPSC-based pipeline analysis unreliable for this category.
