UNSPSC 85532958: Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, 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 06100AY

UNSPSC 85532958 Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code are unrelated to the surgical procedure named in the code's definition—they instead cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve vascular bypass surgery using autologous arterial tissue.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the specific procedure it describes. No state or local issuing body in the recent opportunities is soliciting vascular surgical procedures, surgical grafting materials, or related supplies under this code. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be meaningfully characterized against the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement professionals should verify whether this code is applicable to their target markets before pursuing work under it.
