UNSPSC 85531665: Bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, 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 061N09Y

UNSPSC 85531665 Bypass left femoral vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical vascular procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no direct purchases of this surgical service or related implants, devices, or supplies. Instead, the six recent opportunities span occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These are administrative health services and workforce staffing, not the surgical bypass procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy coding error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities, or that the code has been repurposed as a placeholder for broader health services procurement unrelated to its original specification. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, with no pattern of repeat buyers under this specific code. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the activity is too diverse and misaligned to represent a coherent procurement opportunity pipeline. Bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services and staffing work rather than rely on this code for market intelligence or pursuit planning.
