UNSPSC 85532817: Bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, 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 autologous venous 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 061G09Y

UNSPSC 85532817 Bypass left external iliac vein to lower vein with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve vascular bypass surgery or any related surgical procedures. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of the procurement activity involves the procedure named in the code itself. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to healthcare-related services that fall outside its intended commodity scope.

No recent state and local opportunities actually solicit the vascular bypass procedure described in UNSPSC 85532817. The tagged opportunities—including the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with an April 9, 2026 deadline—represent healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit design rather than surgical procurement. The code mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the procurement systems or a downstream automation failure in tagging. For business development purposes, treating this code as a reliable indicator of actual procurement opportunity would be misleading; the issuing bodies and geographic spread listed above do not reflect genuine procurement demand aligned with the code's stated commodity.
