This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass hepatic vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 06144KY

UNSPSC 85534020 Bypass hepatic vein to lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular reconstruction. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code, however, show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement of health services administration, occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the hepatic vein bypass procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). This code shows no recent activity specific to the procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic footprint of recent postings includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, though the opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement demand for the surgical intervention the code names. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure taxonomy and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in the source material or that the taxonomy does not capture the health services administration and staffing contracting activity that state and local procurement offices are currently pursuing.
