UNSPSC 85523018: Replacement of upper vein with autologous 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 autologous 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 05RY47Z

UNSPSC 85523018 Replacement of upper vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local posting history shows no meaningful alignment with the medical procedure named in the code title. The most recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and specialty medical services — none of which involve vascular surgery or tissue replacement procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city pension systems (Phoenix), and municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara Health System). This mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or systematic misapplication of the code by posting jurisdictions.

The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with recent activity concentrated in California (Collier County, Long Beach, Santa Clara County) and Washington (WSDOT). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, which requires physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, seeking disability record summaries and scheduling for 75 annual pension applications at a $750,000 five-year fixed cost; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle (proposals due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services. Because the code's stated scope (vascular tissue replacement surgery) does not match the work actually being solicited, vendors pursuing this code should verify with issuing jurisdictions whether the code assignment reflects their actual procurement need or represents a data quality issue.
