UNSPSC 85534128: Bypass esophageal vein 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 esophageal vein 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 06130AY

UNSPSC 85534128 "Bypass esophageal vein to lower vein with autologous arterial tissue, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code classify as general medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit programs—none of which align with the procurement of supplies, devices, or services for esophageal vein bypass procedures.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this Commodity code as a catch-all tag for health-services contracting despite its specificity to a single surgical intervention. The six recent opportunities span issuing bodies including a city retirement office (Phoenix), two cities (Long Beach and Seattle-area transit), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California). Geographic concentration appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction a repeat buyer under this code. Business development professionals should verify with individual procurement offices whether this code is being applied correctly or whether related health-services solicitations are tagged differently in their systems.
