UNSPSC 85523248: Replacement of right cephalic vein with autologous 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 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 05RD07Z

UNSPSC 85523248 "Replacement of right cephalic vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no alignment with vascular surgical procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical intervention on a named vessel—bears no relationship to the administrative, occupational health, and clinical staffing services that procurement offices are actually posting under this UNSPSC designation.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county benefits administrators. No meaningful pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement activity emerges from the available opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a classification mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the services state and local procurement offices are actually buying. Business development professionals should not rely on this code to identify genuine opportunities in surgical services or vascular procedures at the state and local level.
