UNSPSC 85523252: Replacement of right 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 right 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 05R90KZ

UNSPSC 85523252 Replacement of right brachial vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and specialty medical procedures through Centers of Excellence — none of which concern vascular surgical replacement. This code-to-activity mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to address a broader category of medical services contracting that does not align with the UNSPSC definition.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent special-purpose health authorities. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code name and actual work being solicited, this code warrants verification with the relevant procurement office before pursuing opportunities flagged under it.
