UNSPSC 85534055: Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with synthetic 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 06104JY

UNSPSC 85534055 Bypass inferior vena cava to lower vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular bypass, but the six recent solicitations tracked under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular bypass procedures or the implantation of synthetic vascular substitutes. The mismatch indicates that this code has been applied incorrectly to health administration and medical services contracting rather than to procedural implants or devices. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices, suggesting the code is used as a catch-all for healthcare-related services without specificity to the procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No opportunities reflect the actual scope of UNSPSC 85534055 as a vascular surgical procedure commodity.
