This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with autologous venous 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 051849Y

UNSPSC 85524183 Bypass left axillary vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local jurisdictions are not procuring this procedure directly; instead, they are buying medical services that encompass broader occupational health, disability evaluation, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing across multiple clinical disciplines. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the purchasing reality suggests this Commodity code has limited relevance to current state and local procurement activity.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none are purchasing the axillary vein bypass procedure named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP, due Oct 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP, due Oct 7, 2026) sought a surgical carve-out benefit program manager for Centers of Excellence covering knee, hip, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP, due Oct 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance services across ferry locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI, due Sep 25, 2026) sought emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (RFP, due Apr 9, 2026) issued a pharmacy benefit management RFP; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFP, due Oct 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code's taxonomy placement appears misaligned with the purchasing bodies' actual procurement needs, which cluster around healthcare administration, benefit management, and workforce services rather than specific surgical procedures.
