UNSPSC 85532866 Bypass portal vein to right renal vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at a highly specific procedural level within medical taxonomy, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect surgical vascular procedures at all. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The disconnect between the code's procedural name and what state and local governments are actually buying suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or procurement offices are using the code as a catch-all for healthcare service administration rather than a discrete surgical procedure line item. State and local issuing bodies spanning county health systems, city retirement offices, county probation departments, and state transportation agencies have used this code, though the recent opportunities show no coherent procurement pattern tied to the code's stated scope.

Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System for a $750,000 five-year term; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows limited decision relevance for surgical vascular procedures; prospective bidders should clarify with issuing bodies whether this code properly reflects their scope before committing resources.
