UNSPSC 85523259: Replacement of right axillary vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right axillary 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 05R70JZ

UNSPSC 85523259 Replacement of right axillary vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of the right axillary vein — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and independent medical evaluation services — none of which involve axillary vein replacement or related vascular surgery supplies.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in source systems or a data classification anomaly. State and local issuers posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System — are soliciting administrative health services and staffing, not implantable medical devices or surgical supplies. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities, as the code shows no substantive recent activity related to vascular replacement surgery or device procurement.
