This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of hemiazygos vein with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85521656 Replacement of hemiazygos vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related healthcare administrative services — none of which involve vascular surgery, vein replacement, synthetic substitutes, or surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the state and local opportunity database rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's medical procedure definition.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; County of Santa Clara Health System), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office; City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix, RFP due October 16, 2026), occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (WSDOT, RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara, RFSQ due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas, with no meaningful concentration in any single state. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual opportunity content, this code does not present a valid procurement opportunity for business development purposes.
