UNSPSC 85521216: Supplement left vertebral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left vertebral vein 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 05US3KZ

UNSPSC 85521216 Supplement left vertebral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity presently captured under the code. Recent opportunities solicited under this UNSPSC number include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vertebral vein supplementation or related surgical procedures. The code's procedural specification appears mismatched with the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

The recent-opportunities block shows active procurement across multiple issuing bodies—pension boards (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), county juvenile detention (Harris County), and regional health systems—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's clinical specification and the administrative and occupational health services actually tagged to it suggests either a classification error in the sourcing system or a data quality issue that would warrant verification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
