UNSPSC 85522031: Supplement hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05U14KZ

UNSPSC 85522031 Supplement hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular tissue supplementation; however, recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing services. These solicitations are administrative and operational healthcare services unrelated to the vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or misattribution in the source material. State and local buyers pursuing work in this code should verify UNSPSC alignment during the proposal preparation phase, as the opportunities identified do not represent vascular surgical procedures or related supplies. Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), but the diversity of healthcare service lines—rather than procedural coding—is the dominant signal. Given the absence of relevant recent solicitation activity in the code's stated scope, pursuit under this code is not currently warranted.
