UNSPSC 85502944: Supplement face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 03UR3KZ

UNSPSC 85502944 Supplement face artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name describes a specific surgical procedure — supplementing a facial artery with nonautologous tissue using a percutaneous approach — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability pension evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve facial artery supplementation or surgical implantation of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems have classified these health services opportunities.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader state and local health services procurement across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach solicited a surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence network program for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026.

The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. This code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors offering facial artery supplementation or related surgical interventions.
