This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 05RB0KZ

UNSPSC 85523418 Replacement of right basilic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare procurement and staffing services rather than specific surgical or vascular procedures. The code's technical name describes a particular surgical intervention, yet state and local solicitations under it are acquiring broad healthcare administration, staffing augmentation, and benefits management rather than vascular replacement procedures or implant materials.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent representative 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 surgical benefits carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). The code's current tagging pattern suggests either classification drift within procurement systems or a disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual goods or services being bought. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify alignment with their service offerings against the actual solicitation scope rather than rely on the code name alone.
