UNSPSC 85501628: Supplement right internal mammary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right internal mammary artery with nonautologous 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 03U00KZ

UNSPSC 85501628, Supplement right internal mammary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect general medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical staffing, and detention healthcare — none of which involve internal mammary artery supplementation or implantation of nonautologous tissue substitutes. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are using it for these particular solicitations. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its stated clinical description.

The posted opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation services between July and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit program management for approximately 3,800 Anthem PPO enrollees (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered lives with historical spend near $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026). Given the lack of procedural alignment between the code definition and these solicitations, pursuit of opportunities under this code should await clarification of the UNSPSC tagging or a documented shift in how the code is being applied.
