UNSPSC 85532950: Bypass inferior vena cava to inferior mesenteric vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass inferior vena cava to inferior mesenteric 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 06100Z6

UNSPSC 85532950, Bypass inferior vena cava to inferior mesenteric vein, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve bypass surgery or vascular procedures. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations align with the code's stated scope of vascular bypass surgery.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual posted opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment in how state and local procurement offices are tagging medical services. The opportunities do originate from diverse issuing bodies—a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach)—but they address occupational health programs, benefits administration, and general medical staffing rather than surgical procedures. Without opportunities actually soliciting vascular surgery services or related clinical supplies under this code, the code presents no clear business development signal for firms pursuing state and local procurement in its stated category.
