UNSPSC 85532802: Bypass left hypogastric vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hypogastric vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 061J0KY

UNSPSC 85532802 Bypass left hypogastric vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—do not involve bypass grafting or the vascular intervention the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code to tag healthcare services and benefits administration work that falls outside the code's surgical scope.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity signals that this UNSPSC category is not a reliable indicator of vascular surgical procurement at the state and local level. Entities posting under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county human resources divisions managing employee benefits (Collier County, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and health systems seeking temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings, but the diversity and inconsistency of the work being tagged suggest that business development professionals should verify the actual scope and code alignment on individual RFPs rather than rely on this Commodity code as an indicator of vascular surgery procurement opportunities.
