UNSPSC 85502579: Replacement of right temporal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right temporal 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 03RS07Z

UNSPSC 85502579 (Replacement of right temporal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach), a Commodity code, carries a nominal scope misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity under its tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue replacement; instead, they span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the opportunities present reflect either administrative health-services contracting or physician-led program management rather than the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

Activity appears concentrated among county and city health benefit administrators and transit or public safety pension boards. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under the state public safety pension system; the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no standout concentration in a single state. The code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vascular surgical procedures at the state and local level.
