This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left axillary vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85523255 Replacement of left axillary vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code shows no alignment with vascular surgical services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve axillary vein replacement or surgical implantation. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's procedural scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code definition and current procurement practice under this code number.

The recent opportunities instead reflect broad categories of government health benefits administration and occupational or emergency medical services. Issuing bodies include city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), large municipal employers (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and other local health authorities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the mismatch between code definition and solicitation content, pursuit of opportunities under this code should depend on direct confirmation that posted work aligns with your firm's service lines rather than on the code label alone.
