UNSPSC 85521631 Supplement hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little alignment to its stated medical procedure descriptor. Recent opportunities tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue grafting. The issuing bodies are typical state and local healthcare purchasers: a state department of transportation (Washington), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), and a city employee benefits program (Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in state procurement systems or a misapplication of the code to general healthcare contracting activity.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with activity concentrated in the West and Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries employees across 14 Washington locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's apparent misuse in state and local procurement systems limits its utility as a reliable indicator of actual buying activity in this commodity category.
