UNSPSC 85523118 Replacement of right hand vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vein replacement procedures; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to have been applied to health services procurement broadly rather than to the discrete procedure its title describes. No recent solicitations reflect vein-replacement work or orthopedic surgical procedures aligned with the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect health services procurement across multiple jurisdictions and agency types. Recent opportunities posted under this code originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Given the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited—none of which involves vein replacement or the surgical procedure named—this code does not represent a viable pursuit area for vendors focused on the procedure described in its title.
