This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass portal vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue 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 06180KY

UNSPSC 85532852 Bypass portal vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's abstract clinical nomenclature — naming a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the concrete work state and local governments are actually buying. Recent opportunities tagged under this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery, vein bypass procedures, or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to health services and benefits administration activities that fall outside the code's intended clinical scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include county human resources and pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal procurement (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Because the opportunities are unrelated to the code's nominal surgical definition, the activity does not signal genuine procurement volume or buyer interest in the work the code purports to describe.
