UNSPSC 85532828: Bypass left common iliac vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left common iliac 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 061D0AY

UNSPSC 85532828 Bypass left common iliac vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, state and local governments are using this code tag for a range of occupational health, disability evaluation, and employee health benefit administration services that bear no relationship to vascular surgical interventions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach solicited surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program management for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and Collier County requested Pharmacy Benefit Management services. None of these opportunities involve vascular surgery or the specific procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this Commodity code either has been misapplied by state and local procurement offices or does not reflect current state and local contracting activity. No decision-relevant signals about vascular surgical services in the public sector emerge from these opportunities. Firms pursuing state and local procurement should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services, occupational medicine, or employee benefit administration work before targeting this code; the recent activity does not support meaningful market intelligence for vascular surgical contracting.
