UNSPSC 85523409: Supplement left basilic vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left basilic 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 05UC07Z

UNSPSC 85523409 Supplement left basilic vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgery or medical device procurement. The four recent solicitations tracked under this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve vascular graft procedures or the implantation of tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or a significant divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these state and local bodies classify healthcare contracting.

Geographic activity is spread across Georgia, Florida, and California based on the four opportunities: Muscogee County (Columbus) in Georgia posted an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026); Collier County in Florida posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); Monroe County in Florida posted an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County in California posted an RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers (due July 2, 2025); and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California posted an RFP for emergency medical services medical direction (due October 16, 2025). The code shows no discernible recent activity aligned with its stated commodity description, and business development professionals should verify whether this code is the correct classification for healthcare or medical services procurement in their target jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
