UNSPSC 85502534: Supplement left thyroid artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left thyroid 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 03UV07Z

UNSPSC 85502534 Supplement left thyroid artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular reconstruction of the thyroid artery using autologous tissue. State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the code's nominal scope. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover prison medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve thyroid vascular surgery or the autologous tissue supplementation procedure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual state and local purchasing activity.

The source shows no recent state and local procurement opportunities that are actually buying thyroid artery vascular reconstruction services or related surgical supplies and equipment. The opportunities posted under this code—from Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy RFP, May 15, 2026 response deadline), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management RFP, April 9, 2026 response deadline), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care services RFP, April 16, 2026 response deadline), San Mateo County Health (peer support services for mental health workers RFP, July 2, 2025 response deadline), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services RFP, October 16, 2025 response deadline)—represent healthcare administration and services contracting in Florida, California, and Georgia, but not surgical vascular reconstruction procurement. Absent evidence of actual state and local purchasing under the code's true scope, this category presents no clear opportunity for business development.
