This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement azygos vein with autologous 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 05U007Z

UNSPSC 85521636 Supplement azygos vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect surgical interventions or tissue-based medical procedures. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees. The mismatch between the code's literal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code is capturing a broad range of municipal and county healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational health services rather than the specific vascular surgical procedure its name implies. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal benefits administrators—a diverse mix of public health, pension administration, and workforce occupational health functions.

Geographic activity centers on California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach, Collier County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no standout repeat buyer evident in the recent block. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope and appears to be systematically misapplied to health services administration and occupational medicine procurement.
