UNSPSC 85522034: Supplement azygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement azygos 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 05U04KZ

UNSPSC 85522034 Supplement azygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little connection to its nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code appears to be a misclassification or data-entry error in the state and local procurement system; the actual work being tagged under this code involves health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, and staffing services rather than the specific vascular surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services agencies (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and local government benefits consortiums. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year contract value; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, initially due April 9, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure focus and the actual health plan, occupational medicine, and staffing services being procured, the code shows no reliable activity for firms pursuing vascular or tissue-substitute surgical contracting.
