UNSPSC 85523243: Replacement of left cephalic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left cephalic vein with nonautologous 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 05RF0KZ

UNSPSC 85523243 "Replacement of left cephalic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code is a clinical procedure taxonomy entry suited to healthcare provider billing and claims classification; state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical vein replacement services or related medical devices or supplies. Instead, recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and inpatient services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the stated clinical procedure. The mismatch between code taxonomy and procurement scope suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or a classification applied to opportunities that do not align with the commodity's medical definition.

Recent activity under this code spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington state, though geographic concentration reflects the broader state and local health services and benefits procurement market rather than demand for the specific clinical service named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (California) posted RFP HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026. No procurement in the recent block actually solicits vein replacement supplies, services, or related clinical materials.
