UNSPSC 85532909: Bypass inferior mesenteric 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 inferior mesenteric 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 06160JY

UNSPSC 85532909 Bypass inferior mesenteric vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the code tags unrelated health services solicitations spanning occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the work actually being solicited—administrative medical services, healthcare staffing, and benefit plan management—suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a breakdown in code application. No state or local government solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are purchasing vascular bypass grafts, surgical supplies, or implantable medical devices that would align with the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), county health systems and human resources offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Because the code's recent activity reflects miscoding rather than legitimate procurement under the surgical-procedure taxonomy, tracking this code for business development purposes offers minimal signal value for firms selling legitimate vascular surgery supplies, surgical instruments, or medical devices. Firms pursuing health services contracts—occupational medicine networks, independent medical evaluation providers, pharmacy benefit managers, staffing vendors, or specialty care networks—should monitor the issuing bodies directly rather than rely on this code classification.
