UNSPSC 85531643 Bypass right lesser saphenous vein to lower vein, open approach is a Commodity code intended to classify a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its surgical scope. The code sees little substantive procurement activity consistent with its nominal description. The six recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out network management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which describe the vascular bypass procedure named in the code itself. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), indicating broad jurisdictional use of this code as a placeholder for health services procurement that does not map to the specific surgical procedure.

Geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration pattern evident across recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (medical record summaries and disability examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, $750,000 over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (audiology, cardiology, imaging, gastroenterology, and surgical/operating room placements, no guaranteed volume). The mismatch between the code's surgical specification and the range of health services actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for medical services rather than applying it narrowly to vascular procedures, signaling limited relevance for firms specializing in the bypass operation itself.
