UNSPSC 85532937 Bypass splenic vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect this narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments buying occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out programs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code is being applied to a broader family of health services administration work rather than the specific vascular surgical procedure the code name implies. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of occupational health, benefits administration, and detention-facility medical services.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with recent solicitations including the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spend around $8.7 million). The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated content and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors with specific relevance to the surgical procedure described.
