UNSPSC 85523016: Replacement of upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05RY4KZ

UNSPSC 85523016 "Replacement of upper vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure classification and the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The code's technical name denotes a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve vein replacement procedures or related surgical implants. The issuing bodies range across state departments, county governments, and municipal entities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Collier County and Harris County in Texas, the City of Long Beach and City of Phoenix in California and Arizona respectively, and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California. This breadth suggests the code may be serving as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement rather than tracking a specific procedural intervention.

Recent activity spans late August through mid-September 2026 postings with response dates clustering in early October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) requiring licensed occupational-medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026) with a five-year, $750,000 contract ceiling; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic concentration appears in California and Texas, with secondary activity in Washington State and Arizona. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the healthcare services and staffing work actually being solicited, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
