UNSPSC 85523916: Replacement of left hand vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05RH4JZ

UNSPSC 85523916 Replacement of left hand vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving synthetic vascular grafting — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it in state and local databases. Recent solicitations bearing this code are instead pursuing occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation services, pharmaceutical benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, hospital specialty care services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees and health systems. None of these opportunities involve the vein-replacement procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for health services work without direct correlation to the procedure it names. Geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. Given the categorical misalignment and the absence of vein-replacement or synthetic vascular graft procurement, this code warrants limited pursuit unless downstream research reveals systematic recoding in target jurisdictions.
