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

UNSPSC 85521658 Replacement of azygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure and does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under it based on recent posted opportunities.

The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve azygos vein replacement procedures or surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between this code and how state and local procurement offices classify medical and health services contracting. Pursuing this code based on its nominal definition would likely misdirect business development effort.
