UNSPSC 85522813 Supplement upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve vascular supplementation procedures, synthetic vein grafts, surgical implants, or any procedural intervention matching the code's stated scope. The opportunities represent health benefits administration, occupational medicine, emergency care coordination, and staffing services—categories functionally unrelated to the surgical procedure named in the code.

This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue at the state and local level or minimal real procurement activity under this code. Vendors pursuing state and local opportunities tagged with this UNSPSC should verify the actual scope in the RFP or IFB narrative before committing resources, as the code name does not reflect current buying patterns in the available market sample.
