This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hypogastric vein to lower vein with autologous arterial 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 061J0AY

UNSPSC 85532804 Bypass left hypogastric vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of occupational health, retirement system administration, and public-sector employee benefit management—not clinical vascular surgery. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code procure occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and employee health plan carve-outs. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments. The actual scope of work involves baseline and periodic occupational health examinations for ferry workers and shipyard employees; independent medical evaluations to support public safety pension disability determinations; temporary staffing of ancillary health professionals such as radiologic technologists, respiratory therapists, and surgical technicians; pharmacy benefit administration covering claims processing, formulary management, and specialty drug networks; and surgical procedure networks through Centers of Excellence for municipal employee health plans. The code's nominal surgical name bears no relation to the work being solicited.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and California. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services on August 25, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026, covering 14 Washington State ferry locations and requiring board certification in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services in an RFP posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 to support disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. The County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories in an RFQ posted July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP on August 26, 2026 for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent clinical vascular-surgery procurement signal and reflects a likely UNSPSC classification error at the source.
