UNSPSC 85532268: Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic 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 autologous arterial 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 061Q4AY

UNSPSC 85532268 Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical and occupational health services state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no vascular surgical procedures or devices. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical technique using autologous arterial tissue—bears no relation to any of these procurement activities, suggesting a tagging error in the underlying data rather than legitimate state and local demand for the procedure itself.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas across city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and juvenile detention authorities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term valued at up to $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring physicians board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct examinations across 14 Washington locations. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the complete mismatch between the code's vascular-surgical scope and the health administration and occupational medicine services actually being purchased, this code presents no meaningful opportunity for firms pursuing state and local contracts aligned with its stated definition.
