UNSPSC 85523246: Replacement of right 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 right 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 05RD0KZ

UNSPSC 85523246 Replacement of right cephalic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical vascular procedure — does not match the actual work being solicited under this code designation in recent state and local opportunities.

The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve vascular surgery, tissue substitutes, or the surgical procedure the code names. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), but the code's assignment to these opportunities appears to be a data tagging error rather than a reflection of genuine commodity alignment. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding in the state and local opportunities database or a vendor-classification artifact that does not reflect actual procurement demand for the surgical service the code describes.
