UNSPSC 85523251: Replacement of left brachial vein with autologous 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 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 05RA07Z

UNSPSC 85523251 Replacement of left brachial vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with vascular surgical replacement work. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve the specific brachial vein surgical procedure the code nominally names. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems, where medical services and administrative health program management are being tagged to a procedure-specific surgical code rather than to appropriate administrative or occupational health services categories.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach, and Collier County), Washington (WSDOT and Washington State Ferries), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (responses due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (responses due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027), and the Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (responses due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with five-year qualified list). Firms pursuing work under this code should verify their own UNSPSC classification and confirm alignment with actual contract scope rather than relying on the nominal code name.
