UNSPSC 85494428: Replacement of superior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of superior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, 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 02RV07Z

UNSPSC 85494428 Replacement of superior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not procure surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. Instead, they solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical network coordination, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of vascular surgical intervention. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal taxonomy and the work state and local buyers are actually requesting under the tag.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no pattern of repeat procurement under this code. No single jurisdiction or service line dominates the activity. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the sample is too small and too divergent to characterize concentration reliably. Given the disconnect between code definition and procurement practice, firms should verify directly with issuing bodies whether this code accurately describes their intended purchase or whether it reflects a tagging error in the underlying procurement system.
