UNSPSC 85521649: Replacement of left innominate 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 innominate 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 05R40KZ

UNSPSC 85521649 Replacement of left innominate vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits for a municipal health plan (City of Long Beach), and occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation)—involve medical services administration, benefits management, and workplace health screening, not vascular surgical procedures or medical devices. The code's nominal scope—replacement of a specific blood vessel using synthetic material—does not align with any of the solicited work.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code does not currently drive state and local procurement. Bidders pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should monitor codes covering benefits administration, staffing, pharmacy management, and occupational health services; the recent activity under this UNSPSC suggests those families capture the volume in public-sector healthcare buying today.
