UNSPSC 85521050: Replacement of intracranial vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of intracranial vein 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 05RL07Z

UNSPSC 85521050 Replacement of intracranial vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal surgical procedure scope and the state and local opportunities actually tagged to it. The recent solicitations under this code include disability medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans — none of which involve intracranial vein replacement or tissue-substitute procedures. The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement board (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county procurement offices (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city human resources departments (City of Long Beach). The code does not reflect orthopedic or neurosurgical procurement activity; rather, it appears to be capturing broader healthcare administration and occupational medicine services.

Recent activity is distributed across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic exams at 14 ferry system locations; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually) covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. The code shows no genuine surgical procedure procurement signals and does not warrant pursuit under its stated scope.
