UNSPSC 85522816: Replacement of upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 05RY0KZ

UNSPSC 85522816 Replacement of upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not represent vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitute services; instead they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure and implant — does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local bodies in the recent sample.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not see material activity in state and local contracting. State and local procurement in the recent posting block focuses on health benefit administration, third-party medical services (independent evaluations, occupational surveillance), and staffing coordination rather than direct procurement of surgical procedures or medical devices. If your firm pursues vascular implant or surgical procedure contracts with state and local bodies, a more targeted search under medical device, implant, or hospital procurement codes would likely yield more decision-relevant opportunities.
