UNSPSC 85522917: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper vein, percutaneous 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 05PY3KZ

UNSPSC 85522917 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no purchasing activity aligned with the code's medical procedure scope. The sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from upper veins. The mismatch between the code's nominal classification and actual procurement activity indicates the code sees little to no relevant recent state and local solicitation demand.

State and local issuers across multiple jurisdictions appear to tag health-related work broadly without precision to specific medical procedure codes, resulting in data integrity issues at the commodity tier. The absence of genuine opportunities under this code suggests either limited municipal or county purchase of this specific vascular intervention, reliance on state health plans or federal contracting vehicles for such procedures, or systematic miscoding by issuing bodies. Business development professionals tracking this code should monitor whether the tagging pattern corrects or persists in future cycles; if the mismatch continues, the code may not serve as a reliable targeting mechanism for state and local procurement under its stated definition.
