UNSPSC 85532257: Bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic 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 061S49Y

UNSPSC 85532257 Bypass left lesser saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vascular procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code, however, show no alignment with the procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare and occupational medical services procurement: independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries employees, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular bypass surgery or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific surgical service it names.

The opportunities that carry this code tag are issued by diverse state and local bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Geographic spread and issuing-body concentration cannot be meaningfully characterized from a dataset in which the code itself appears misapplied to the underlying work. Bidders evaluating this code for procurement activity should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service lines before pursuing these opportunities, as the current tag does not reflect the nature of the work being solicited.
