UNSPSC 85523249: Replacement of left brachial 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 brachial 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 05RA0KZ

UNSPSC 85523249, Replacement of left brachial vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations address administrative health services, benefit plan management, and workforce staffing rather than the orthopedic vascular surgery the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding across multiple issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment between the source classification system and the actual goods or services being procured.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, and health systems. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers across 14 locations (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid scheduled August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of genuine commodity-level alignment, bidders should not target this code as a procurement category.
