This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right 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 051749Y

UNSPSC 85524189 Bypass right axillary vein to upper vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which relate to the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure named in the code's definition. The mismatch between the code's surgical specialty scope and the health services, staffing, and benefits management work appearing in state and local RFP activity indicates either miscoding at the point of solicitation or that this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category at the state and local level.

State and local issuing bodies appear to use higher-tier health services codes to tag diverse medical contracting activity rather than this specific commodity-level vascular surgery procedure code. When pursuing opportunities in medical services under UNSPSC codes in the 85524000–85529999 range, verify the code assignment against the actual scope of work in the solicitation; the taxonomy appears to map poorly to the clinical and administrative health services that municipalities, counties, and state health systems are actually buying.
