UNSPSC 85521827: Supplement left innominate vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left innominate vein with autologous 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 05U437Z

UNSPSC 85521827 Supplement left innominate vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized surgical procedure—vein supplementation using autologous tissue in a percutaneous approach—yet the six recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not procure surgical devices, tissue substitutes, or vein-supplementation services of any kind. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. The code classification appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than an accurate descriptor of the goods and services being purchased.

Activity is geographically distributed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with issuing bodies spanning municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 deadline, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 statewide ferry locations with an October 9, 2026 proposal deadline. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual procurement being solicited, this code does not represent a reliable opportunity stream for vendors offering surgical devices or tissue substitutes; the recent activity instead reflects general health services procurement that has been miscoded at the point of publication.
