UNSPSC 85532949: Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein, 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 06100ZY

UNSPSC 85532949 Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to it are instead soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involves vascular bypass surgery or operative vein procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a data-classification anomaly; the code as presently indexed does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.

The recent opportunities do reflect typical state and local health-services procurement: a county benefits consortium managing pharmacy spend ($8.7 million annually), a city retirement office contracting for medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), a state transportation agency procuring occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, and a county health system establishing a temporary staffing roster across multiple clinical categories. Issuers include county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement and human resources departments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington). Without clarification of why this vascular-surgery code is being applied to medical staffing and benefits administration, procurement professionals should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities marked under 85532949.
