UNSPSC 85534056: Bypass inferior vena cava to inferior mesenteric 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 inferior mesenteric 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 06104J6

UNSPSC 85534056 Bypass inferior vena cava to inferior mesenteric vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not represent vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. State and local procurement systems appear to have applied the code to general healthcare services procurement rather than to the specific vascular surgical intervention the code describes. No state or local government solicitations in the source material are actually procuring the bypass procedure itself or the associated synthetic vascular grafts.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but none reflects procurement activity matching the code's medical device or surgical procedure classification. Bidders should verify whether this code is genuinely relevant to their service offerings before pursuing state and local opportunities tagged to it, as the current activity suggests either systematic miscoding or a mismatch between the taxonomy and actual government buying patterns in this category.
