UNSPSC 85534004: Bypass colic vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass colic vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06174AY

UNSPSC 85534004, Bypass colic vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit cardiovascular surgical services matching the code's description. Instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a regional health system. Opportunities are spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferries employees due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum compensation; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026 establishing a multiple-award qualified vendor pool. This code appears to carry a significant classification error and shows no relevant recent activity in its stated surgical specialty.
