UNSPSC 85524055: Replacement of left axillary 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 axillary 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 05R84KZ

UNSPSC 85524055 Replacement of left axillary vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—all relate to occupational health surveillance, employee benefit administration, detention health services, and temporary clinical staffing. None involves vascular surgical procedures or the specific vein-replacement intervention that the code nominally describes. The code shows no meaningful alignment with the recent solicitations in scope or substance.

The mismatch suggests either a procedural tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code is rarely if ever used in state and local procurement. State and local health systems, county health authorities, transit agencies, and municipalities sourcing occupational health services, benefit administration, and temporary staffing tag opportunities under different code families. If your firm pursues vascular surgical or invasive vascular procedures for state and local customers, verify the applicable UNSPSC codes through direct consultation with issuing procurement offices rather than relying on this category.
