UNSPSC 85511229: Replacement of left renal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left renal 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 04RA0KZ

UNSPSC 85511229 Replacement of left renal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code appears to have been applied erroneously to health services procurement that falls outside its intended medical-device and surgical-procedure domain.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a meaningful market opportunity at present. Buyers applying this classification include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation RFP with October 16, 2026 response deadline and $750,000 five-year maximum value), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out RFP with October 7, 2026 response deadline), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance RFP with October 9, 2026 response deadline), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services with September 25, 2026 response deadline), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management RFP with April 9, 2026 response deadline), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle with October 7, 2026 response deadline). The mismatch between the code's vascular-surgical definition and the actual health administration and staffing services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this code as a catchall for health-services procurement, neither of which supports targeted pursuit based on the code's intended scope.
