UNSPSC 85523636: Supplement right axillary vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right axillary vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 05U737Z

UNSPSC 85523636 Supplement right axillary vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure involving vascular tissue grafting, but recent opportunities tagged under it actually solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve autologous vein supplementation. The only procurement truly adjacent to the code's surgical scope is the City of Long Beach's request for Centers of Excellence networks managing orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures, though that remains a managed-care coordination service rather than direct surgical supply or performance.

Recent activity is concentrated among county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and state transportation agencies, with geographic spread across California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) requests independent disability medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual pension applications; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishes a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties. The code's nominal surgical focus does not meaningfully track procurement activity in this space; buyers seeking vascular surgical services or tissue substitute materials would benefit from reviewing whether the code is properly applied or whether alternative UNSPSC classifications better reflect state and local purchasing patterns in surgical care.
