UNSPSC 85521217: Supplement left vertebral vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left vertebral vein with synthetic 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 05US3JZ

UNSPSC 85521217 Supplement left vertebral vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular implantation, but the six opportunities recently solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vertebral vein supplementation or synthetic vascular substitutes. This mismatch suggests either a taxonomy misclassification in the issuing systems or a broad catch-all application of the code to health-related services generally.

The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal government entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years for disability benefit application support); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the structural mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on vascular medical devices or surgical implants.
