UNSPSC 85521646: Replacement of right 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 right 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 05R50KZ

UNSPSC 85521646 Replacement of right subclavian vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its procedural medical coding nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit surgical implants, tissue substitutes, or vascular replacement devices; instead, they reflect sourcing for occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, and surgical care network management. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or a taxonomy classification failure — state and local buying under this code bears no relationship to the code's clinical procedure scope.

The recent opportunities originating from Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, and Phoenix are predominantly structured as RFP and RFQ instruments with response windows between late August and mid-October 2026. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration pattern that would signal market momentum under the stated code. Given the absence of actual procurement demand for the commodity the code nominally describes, this code should not be pursued; the activity present reflects misclassification rather than viable opportunity in vascular surgical devices or tissue substitutes.
