UNSPSC 85523222 Supplement right cephalic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its clinical scope — which nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure. The posted solicitations instead cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), and pediatric detention healthcare (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None of these services involve the supplementation of the right cephalic vein with nonautologous tissue.

The mismatch between the code's surgical descriptor and the actual opportunities posted suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the UNSPSC taxonomy is being applied inconsistently across state and local procurement systems for clinical services. No evidence in the source supports active state or local procurement under this code for its stated scope. Vendors considering pursuit should verify coding alignment with individual issuing bodies before investing in bid preparation, as the opportunities currently visible under this code do not reflect the intended commodity.
