This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper artery, 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 03PY07Z

UNSPSC 85503626 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve the removal of autologous tissue substitutes or vascular surgical procedures as the code's name suggests. The mismatch indicates that this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to opportunities for which it is not the appropriate classifier.

The recent activity does not support a meaningful summary of procurement under the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85503626. Issuers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Opportunities are scattered across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida with no geographic concentration. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated medical-device or surgical-procedure scope, rendering it unsuitable as a target for business development aligned with the actual commodity definition.
