UNSPSC 85523415: Replacement of left basilic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left basilic 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 05RC0KZ

UNSPSC 85523415 "Replacement of left basilic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure (vascular surgery with tissue substitution), which is not a product or service that states, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts procure or contract for as a line item. Recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code show no match to the code's nominal surgical scope—instead they reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities are procurement of health services administration, staffing, and network management, not the surgical procedure itself.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated clinical scope. No state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB in the recent-opportunities block solicits the surgical procedure, implant, or device named by the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal content and actual procurement demand suggests this Commodity code is either misapplied to state and local health-system requests or seldom used in state and local procurement taxonomy. Business development professionals should confirm whether this code appears in active state and local solicitations for their specific market before investing in pursuit strategy.
