UNSPSC 85524254: Bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous 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 051C47Y

UNSPSC 85524254 Bypass left basilic vein to upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being procured by state and local governments in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code comprise medical administrative services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery or surgical implant procedures.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices classify medical and health-system services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgery benefit carve-out administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing) represent the issuing bodies, but their work falls outside the scope of vascular surgical procedures. Because the code shows no recent activity related to its stated commodity, pursuit decisions should treat this code as inactive for state and local business-development purposes until the source data corrects the tagging.
