This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand vein with autologous tissue 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 05RH07Z

UNSPSC 85523117 Replacement of left hand vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vein-replacement procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not procure vein-replacement surgery or related surgical supplies. Instead, the solicitations span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve vein replacement or the surgical tissue substitutes the code nominally describes.

Activity remains dispersed across different issuing bodies and geographies with no clear pattern of repeat buyers under this code's scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out benefit program administration covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty healthcare for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and therapy services. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misapplied to the opportunities actually posted.
