UNSPSC 85532850: Bypass portal vein to left renal vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass portal vein to left renal vein, 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 06180ZB

UNSPSC 85532850 Bypass portal vein to left renal vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract activity tagged under this code bears no meaningful relationship to that scope. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these procurements involve vascular surgery or the specific procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either persistent miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all for health services that do not fit more precise taxonomy entries. State agencies, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems are all issuing under this code—Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries occupational health), City of Phoenix (pension board evaluations), City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Collier County (pharmacy benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical care), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing).

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas with no concentration in any single region. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record review and independent medical examinations for public safety pension applicants (due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year contract), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories including audiology, imaging, orthopedics, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). The code shows material procurement activity but remains poorly aligned with its stated scope.
