UNSPSC 85492727: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from great vessel, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from great vessel, 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 02PY0KZ

UNSPSC 85492727 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from great vessel, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical tissue removal or vascular procedures. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing pools, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities align with the procedural definition embedded in the code name. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The code appears to be tagged to opportunities that involve medical services delivery, administration, or evaluation broadly, but the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes does not surface in any of the recent solicitations.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Ferries). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support 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 (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity genuinely aligned with vascular tissue substitute removal or surgical procedures of that specificity, signaling either systematic miscoding or abandonment of the code for its intended purpose.
