UNSPSC 85532907 Bypass inferior mesenteric vein to lower vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local bodies—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the performance of the bypass procedure itself or procurement of related surgical supplies, instruments, or implants.

The source contains no recent state and local opportunities that actually procure the vascular surgery service or related products named by the UNSPSC code. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the purchasing activity recorded under it suggests that either the code has been misapplied by one or more issuing bodies or the code sees minimal relevant procurement activity. Bidders should verify the actual scope of work in any future RFP or RFQ posted under this code before committing resources to pursuit.
