UNSPSC 85501624: Supplement innominate artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement innominate artery 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 03U207Z

The UNSPSC 85501624 Commodity code for supplement innominate artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical cardiovascular procedure—vascular reconstruction using autologous tissue at the innominate artery using an open surgical approach. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code in state and local procurement databases do not reflect cardiovascular surgical services. Instead, the tagged solicitations span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these opportunities involve vascular reconstruction, autologous tissue grafting, or the specialized surgical scope implied by the code's name.

This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were coded or that the code itself is not an active procurement category for state and local government. No state or local issuing body is currently soliciting for innominate artery vascular reconstruction services under this code, and the broader vascular surgery market does not emerge from the recent opportunity set. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains relevant to state and local procurement activity—particularly for health systems, hospital networks, and county health authorities that might contract for cardiac and vascular surgical services—before allocating pursuit resources.
