UNSPSC 85522231: Replacement of left face vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left face vein with autologous 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 05RV07Z

UNSPSC 85522231 Replacement of left face vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code procure occupational health surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve vein replacement procedures or autologous tissue grafting.

The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical descriptor and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either a systematic tagging error or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to state and local healthcare administration and staffing services. Geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Issuing bodies span city retirement systems, county human resources divisions, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no clear relationship to the work being solicited, practitioners should treat this code as unreliable for market research and verify opportunity classification through direct review of RFP scope statements.
