UNSPSC 85523227: Supplement left brachial vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left brachial 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 05UA07Z

UNSPSC 85523227 Supplement left brachial vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations for pension systems, and specialty surgical carve-out networks — none of which involve vascular tissue supplementation or open surgical approaches. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to healthcare and benefits administration work rather than surgical procedures. State and local issuing bodies across the recent block include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington), and municipalities (Long Beach).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. The Collier County Board of Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, and the City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out networks due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual healthcare administration and staffing work appearing in recent postings, the code does not appear to be a reliable indicator of procurement activity in this category.
