UNSPSC 85521438: Replacement of left vertebral vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 05RS47Z

UNSPSC 85521438 "Replacement of left vertebral vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure classified under medical services, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve vertebral vein replacement or similar surgical interventions. Instead, state and local bodies are using this code designation to procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies span state departments, county human resources divisions, municipal pension boards, transit authorities, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a temporary clinical staffing pool, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity consistent with surgical vertebral vein replacement or procedurally specific surgical services as named. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing; the mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement scope suggests classification error rather than active demand for the code's stated service.
