UNSPSC 85521643: Replacement of left subclavian vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 05R60KZ

UNSPSC 85521643, Replacement of 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 six most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—solicit occupational health medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures, tissue substitutes, or the clinical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or data-classification error upstream, rendering the code inactive for practical procurement purposes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and health systems: the Arizona City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The opportunities themselves—medical surveillance compliance programs, pension-board disability determinations, benefit administration, and staffing pools—fall outside surgical procurement entirely. Until state and local solicitations actually naming vascular procedures or tissue-substitute products appear under this code, there is no actionable market signal or procurement pathway for vendors in vascular reconstruction. Code activity should be monitored for recoding or correction by issuing bodies, but pursuit under the current state of the data is not warranted.
