UNSPSC 85522921: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous 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 05PY37Z

UNSPSC 85522921 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope drawn from clinical procedure terminology, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity aligned with that medical procedure. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for health services that do not fit more specific UNSPSC taxonomy. State and local issuers posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and health systems seeking to set qualified vendor pools or negotiate bundled medical service contracts.

Geographic activity under the code spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out, Santa Clara County temporary staffing pool), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), Texas (Harris County youth detention medical services), and Washington (ferry system occupational surveillance). Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation with occupational medicine physician requirement), City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summarization and independent medical examinations for public safety pension applicants at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits targeting implementation April 1, 2027 (due October 7, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 categories excluding nursing and physicians (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active state and local procurement across health services infrastructure but carries significant ambiguity in its actual scope relative to the opportunities posted under it.
