This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85531652 Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect no relevant procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code instead solicit independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these opportunities concern vascular bypass grafting or the operative procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification at the source or a systematic tagging error across multiple jurisdictions. State and local procurement offices vary in coding discipline and may default to a single medical-services code when specific clinical procedure codes are unavailable. Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county health departments, transit authorities, and county commissioners. No geographic concentration or repeat buyer pattern is evident. The code shows no current procurement activity aligned with its stated scope and should be monitored for future activity; current opportunities under this code are not relevant to vendors specializing in vascular surgical services.
