UNSPSC 85524049: Replacement of left brachial 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 left brachial 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 05RA4KZ

UNSPSC 85524049 Replacement of left brachial vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 span disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency detention-facility medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vein replacement or tissue substitutes. State and local issuing bodies using this code designation include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a major city (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The mismatch between the code's anatomical specificity and the breadth of health-care procurement activity suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all health services category rather than as a true Commodity-level descriptor.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with up to five one-year extensions). The code shows activity but lacks coherence; vendors evaluating pursuit should verify that any specific opportunity's actual scope aligns with their capabilities before responding, as the code itself provides minimal guidance on what state and local governments are actually buying.
