UNSPSC 85532858: Bypass portal 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 portal 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 06180AY

UNSPSC 85532858, Bypass portal vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurements. The source records show medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit administration — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests that the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health care service contracts that fall outside its nominal scope.

Recent activity under this code shows no procurement opportunities for the vascular surgical procedure the code describes. State and local issuers in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida are instead soliciting administrative and clinical staffing services across occupational health, disability determinations, specialty pharmacy networks, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — functions that operate at the health plan or institutional level rather than at the point of care for vascular intervention. Until state and local procurement offices apply this code with greater precision to contracts actually involving portal vein bypass procedures, the code remains a poor signal for vendors in operative vascular surgery, surgical supplies, or related clinical services.
