UNSPSC 85531651: Bypass left greater 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 left greater 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 061Q0JY

UNSPSC 85531651 Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent solicitations posted under this code reflect medical services contracting for independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or implantable medical devices. The tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand in this commodity space.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span city pension offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and municipal employee benefit programs across Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the material disconnect between the code's surgical scope and the health services administration work actually appearing in solicitations, this code warrants verification before pursuing; the recent activity does not reflect demand for vascular surgical procedures or related implantable devices.
