UNSPSC 85523116 Replacement of left hand vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities aligned with its stated clinical content.

The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None involve vein replacement or synthetic vascular substitutes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county human resources and procurement offices (Collier County), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County). The opportunities are geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. This misalignment between code nomenclature and actual procurement suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these solicitations, or the code itself is not in active use for state and local medical procurement. Prospective vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before developing pursuit strategies around this code.
