UNSPSC 85532951 Bypass inferior vena cava to superior mesenteric vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code and the work being solicited suggests either tagging error or mission creep in how this Commodity code is being applied across state and local systems. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county commissioners (Collier County), health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (Long Beach). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas, but without alignment to the code's nominal scope, the activity is not actionable for vendors focused on the specific procedure named in UNSPSC 85532951. Practitioners should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing any opportunities in this category.
