UNSPSC 85531645: Bypass right lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with synthetic 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 061R0JY

UNSPSC 85531645 Bypass right lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical vascular bypass procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, detention-facility healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to procurement of vascular bypass surgery supplies, implants, or operative services. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or a divergence between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement offices apply it in practice.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards, performing disability medical record review and examination coordination for roughly 75 annual applications), California (Long Beach municipal health benefits administration, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department healthcare for detained youth), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees). None of these solicitations—whether RFP, RFI, or RFQ—address vascular surgery implants or operative procedures. Without alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying pattern, this code presents no actionable opportunity for vendors supplying vascular bypass materials or services.
