UNSPSC 85522055: Replacement of hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 05R14KZ

UNSPSC 85522055 Replacement of hemiazygos vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity, shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery, tissue substitutes, or endoscopic vein replacement. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure nominal scope and the actual services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is not in active use for state and local contracting.

The opportunities that do appear in the dataset originate from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) — a geographically dispersed issuing-body mix spanning municipalities, counties, state transportation agencies, and special-purpose health systems. None of these solicitations are for the procedure or clinical service this code nominally describes. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify directly with target jurisdictions whether they use this code for actual vascular-surgery procurement or whether the tagging reflects data-entry error in their procurement systems. Until clarified, the code presents substantial execution risk.
