UNSPSC 85524024: Supplement right cephalic vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right cephalic vein with autologous 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 05UD47Z

UNSPSC 85524024 Supplement right cephalic vein with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits for surgical procedures, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and pharmacy benefit management—do not align with the procedural scope the code name suggests. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all category for health benefit and occupational medicine services rather than for the specific vein-supplementation procedure the code defines.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, with anticipated contract execution in April 2027). The mismatch between code definition and actual buying behavior suggests this code should be monitored for reclassification or used with caution in business development planning.
