UNSPSC 85532815: Bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with synthetic 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 061G0JY

UNSPSC 85532815 Bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical implants or vascular bypass work. Instead, the opportunities show this code being applied to occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention healthcare services, and surgical center-of-excellence networks — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a vascular bypass procedure. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities in procurement systems or repurposing of this code beyond its intended taxonomy category. State and local buyers posting under this code in the past quarter include Arizona's City of Phoenix (public pension boards), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County in Texas, California's County of Santa Clara Health System, and Collier County in Florida, with opportunities spanning medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy administration, temporary staffing coordination, and specialty surgical networks rather than vascular implant procurement.

Recent opportunities show no activity in vascular surgery, graft materials, or related implant supply chains. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation RFP20260825 (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001 (disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026) are the most concrete examples posted in the past two months, but both involve administrative and evaluation services rather than hardware or surgical goods. The code's nominal scope appears disconnected from actual state and local procurement activity under this designation; firms pursuing work aligned with the code's stated vascular procedure should verify UNSPSC accuracy during bid research, as misapplication in municipal and county systems may create noise in vendor searches.
