UNSPSC 85522216: Supplement right face vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right face vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 05UT0KZ

UNSPSC 85522216 Supplement right face vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted solicitations tagged to this code for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical specialties—none of which involve venous grafting or tissue substitution. The code appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than a functional procurement category for these jurisdictions; the medical services being solicited are administrative, diagnostic, or staffing in nature rather than surgical implantation procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), suggesting that misclassification or tagging drift occurs across multiple states and issuing-body types. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually procuring venous grafting supplies or tissue substitutes under this code, the commodity appears inactive for state and local procurement purposes. A business development professional should verify whether this code is in active use at their target jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
