UNSPSC 85521825: Supplement left innominate vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left innominate vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 05U43KZ

UNSPSC 85521825 Supplement left innominate vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical vascular procedure—and the state and local contracting activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which relate to vascular surgical implants or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a code misapplication by issuing bodies; the code does not reflect active state and local demand for the procedure its name describes.

The recent opportunities themselves—spanning the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety disability claims), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (acute and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing)—show activity across city, county, and state administrative healthcare functions. Geography includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. These are real procurement actions with substantive scope and real response dates, but they are not procurements of the vascular surgical product or service the code nominally describes. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for purposes of the stated commodity and investigate whether the source data supports a different, more appropriate UNSPSC classification.
