UNSPSC 85521029: Supplement intracranial vein with synthetic 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 05UL0JZ

UNSPSC 85521029 Supplement intracranial vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical implant procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not purchase medical implants or surgical supplies — they procure services including independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's surgical-device nomenclature and the services actually being bought suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or a data-integration error upstream of the opportunity feed.

The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). No recent opportunities actually purchase intracranial vein implants or related surgical devices under this code.
