UNSPSC 85523108: Supplement left hand vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left hand vein with synthetic substitute, 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 05UH0JZ

UNSPSC 85523108 Supplement left hand vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with vein supplementation or that specific surgical intervention. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, Centers of Excellence carve-out programs for surgical benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute the supply or performance of the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a secondary use of the code that departs from its procedural definition. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—represent a mix of municipal, state, and county health and benefits administration rather than direct surgical supply or clinical service procurement aligned with the code's title. Without a sufficient sample of opportunities that actually match the code's stated scope, this Commodity code does not present a viable target for business development focused on vein supplementation or related surgical interventions.
