This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue 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 05PY07Z

UNSPSC 85522824 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the code's nominal scope of surgical tissue removal procedures. The mismatch indicates either misclassification in posting systems or the code's limited use in actual state and local buying. State and local governments do procure health services, medical staffing, and benefit administration, but the code as defined does not capture those activities in a way that aligns with current solicitation practice.

The geographic spread of opportunities tagged to this code includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, suggesting wide jurisdictional use of the code despite the misalignment. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county probation departments, and county procurement divisions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no alignment with the surgical or tissue-removal work its name describes.
