UNSPSC 85502582: Replacement of face artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of face 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 03RR07Z

UNSPSC 85502582 Replacement of face artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a categorical mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical name describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty hospital services for detained youth. None of these services involve arterial replacement or autologous tissue substitution. The mismatch signals that state and local procurement offices have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to broader healthcare administration and occupational health contracting.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications across a five-year, $750,000 contract), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a standout repeat buyer under this code. Given the absence of surgical-procedure-level contracting activity in the posted opportunities, this code should be treated as demonstrating weak alignment with actual state and local procurement signals.
