UNSPSC 85521421: Supplement right vertebral vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right vertebral vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05UR47Z

UNSPSC 85521421 Supplement right vertebral vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code assigned to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no connection to the procedural specification in the code name. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and health plan administration. These solicitations reflect health services administration, staffing, and benefits management work—not the specialized vascular surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a misapplication of this code to health services contracting that falls outside its intended scope.

The recent opportunities show activity across state departments, county health systems, city pension offices, and county procurement divisions, primarily in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration for approximately 3,800 covered members (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's clinical description and the actual procurement activity, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in surgical or vascular medical device or services categories.
