UNSPSC 85523250: Replacement of left brachial vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left brachial vein with synthetic 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 05RA0JZ

UNSPSC 85523250 Replacement of left brachial vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source contains six recent opportunities tagged under this code, but five are plainly unrelated to the nominal scope: they cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations procure or specify vascular surgery supplies, graft materials, or the specific procedural services the code describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local data sources or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement practice at these jurisdictions.

The single tangentially closer opportunity—the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026)—involves medical examinations and occupational health services rather than vascular surgical procedures or implants. Given the absence of genuine opportunities in the code's nominal scope across a recent six-opportunity window spanning July through September 2026, vendors pursuing vascular graft and brachial vein replacement work should not expect meaningful state and local demand signals under this code. The posting pattern suggests that state and local health systems, counties, and municipalities may not use this commodity-level UNSPSC code for actual procurement, or that such work is classified elsewhere or procured through standing GPO agreements outside traditional RFP/RFQ workflows.
