UNSPSC 85531638: Bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 061S0KY

UNSPSC 85531638 Bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code appears designed to classify a specific surgical vein-bypass procedure using tissue substitutes; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the posted solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which are vein-bypass surgical procedures or tissue-substitute procurement.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the underlying state and local procurement database or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader medical services outside its nominal commodity scope. State and local buyers in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted solicitations under this code, but the work being solicited does not correspond to the specific orthopedic or vascular procedure the code names. No representative opportunities targeting actual vein-bypass procedures, tissue substitutes, or related surgical implant procurement appear in the recent record. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity intent with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
