UNSPSC 85532903: Bypass colic vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass colic vein to lower vein with synthetic 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 06170JY

UNSPSC 85532903 Bypass colic vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure descriptor that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity filed under this code. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are posting opportunities under this code for occupational medical examinations, disability benefit medical record review and evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services. These are health administration and staffing services, not the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth). The recent opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and actual procurement activity, suggesting either systematic miscoding by state and local issuing bodies or that this Commodity code has been repurposed for a different line of work than its UNSPSC descriptor indicates.
