UNSPSC 85521619: Supplement left subclavian vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left subclavian vein with nonautologous 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 05U60KZ

UNSPSC 85521619 Supplement left subclavian vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure—specifically vascular supplementation using implantable tissue—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks. These solicitations address health benefit administration, medical record management, and clinical workforce deployment rather than the implantable medical device or surgical procedure the code nomenclature suggests.

The mismatch between code and scope signals either a tagging error in the source data or a misalignment between UNSPSC classification and actual procurement practice in the issuing jurisdictions. The recent opportunities originate from diverse state and local bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but none involve acquisition of the surgical procedure or implantable device the code describes. No representative opportunity directly purchased or contracted for subclavian vein supplementation services. State and local procurement under this code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its nominal product line.
