This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement upper 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 05UY0KZ

UNSPSC 85522812 Supplement upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitution. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a code applied across broad healthcare administration and clinical services that bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), reflecting typical state and local purchasing diversity. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing vascular surgical supplies or tissue substitutes in state and local procurement.
