UNSPSC 85522701: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper vein, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper vein, external 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 05WYXKZ

UNSPSC 85522701 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper vein, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving vascular tissue replacement, yet the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve tissue substitutes or vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the issuing bodies' tagging systems or a significant disconnect between the code's technical definition and its current procurement application. No opportunities in the source material describe the acquisition, implantation, or revision of nonautologous vascular tissue products.

The recent opportunities reveal fragmented issuing bodies across multiple states with no geographic concentration: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows no meaningful recent activity in its stated scope and should be deprioritized unless procurement professionals verify that the UNSPSC tagging reflects an intentional classification decision rather than administrative error.
