UNSPSC 85532270: Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous tissue substitute, 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 tissue substitute, 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 061Q47Y

UNSPSC 85532270, Bypass left greater saphenous vein to lower vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that reflects a specific surgical procedure classification, but recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not involve vascular surgery supply, procurement, or procedure contracting. Instead, the code appears to be a tagging artifact; the opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. These are administrative and staffing services, not the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Phoenix, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix, Collier County). The work actually being procured involves medical record review and disability determinations, occupational health screening, PBM administration, staffing pools for ancillary clinical roles, and Centers of Excellence networks for bundled surgical care — none of which align with procurement of a specific surgical technique or implant.

Recent solicitations span Washington State (occupational surveillance services for ferry workers, RFP 20260825 due October 9, 2026), Arizona (disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, RTMRFP26001 due October 16, 2026), California (temporary health professional staffing and surgical benefit programs, due October 7, 2026), Texas (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM due September 25, 2026), and Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414 with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million). The code shows no genuine alignment with vascular surgery procurement; the connection appears to be a data-tagging error rather than a reflection of actual state and local buying activity in this commodity category.
