UNSPSC 85502580: Replacement of face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of face 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 03RR0KZ

UNSPSC 85502580 Replacement of face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure involving vascular replacement—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The six opportunities in the source block cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the performance of the specific surgical procedure the code describes, nor do they solicit procurement of surgical implants, tissue substitutes, or related surgical supply lines that would fall within the code's scope.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the procurement data or that jurisdictions are using the code as a fallback category for healthcare services outside its intended taxonomy. No state or local jurisdiction has solicited the actual service—replacement of face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute—under this code in the recent posting window. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and investigate whether opportunities in vascular surgery supplies, tissue bank products, or surgical implants are classified under a different UNSPSC family or commodity code.
