UNSPSC 85531116: Replacement of lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 06RY0KZ

UNSPSC 85531116 Replacement of lower vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure nomenclature. The code's title references a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve vein replacement or tissue substitute procedures. This mismatch indicates the code has been misapplied to these solicitations and does not reflect genuine state and local demand for the procedure it names.

The six recent opportunities in the source originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These range across administrative medical services, employee health plan management, and temporary clinical staffing — categories unrelated to surgical vascular procedures. Without any recent solicitations actually seeking vein replacement services or nonautologous tissue substitutes, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors in that medical device or surgical services space.
