UNSPSC 85522821: Removal of synthetic substitute from upper vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from upper vein, 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 05PY0JZ

UNSPSC 85522821 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its medical-procedure taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted under this code do not concern vascular surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, employee benefits administration, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, and youth detention healthcare services. The code appears to be a misclassification vehicle in state and local procurement systems, and active work aligned with the code's nominal scope cannot be identified from recent opportunities.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and regional public-safety retirement boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with $750,000 maximum compensation over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured diverge fundamentally, pursue this code only if your firm operates in occupational medicine, healthcare benefits administration, or employee medical services — not vascular surgery.
