UNSPSC 85523918: Replacement of right hand vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hand vein with nonautologous tissue 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 05RG4KZ

UNSPSC 85523918 Replacement of right hand vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services. These opportunities span administrative healthcare contracting, medical staffing coordination, and program management rather than the surgical intervention the code describes, suggesting a classification mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—state health departments and transportation agencies, county human resources and health systems, and municipal retirement offices—across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization services with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 locations, proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope and appears to reflect administrative classification rather than the actual procurement demand state and local agencies are signaling.
