UNSPSC 85531120: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower vein, 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 06PY0KZ

UNSPSC 85531120, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower vein, open approach (Commodity), does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The source shows no solicitations for the vascular surgical procedure named in the UNSPSC definition. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue substitute removal or lower vein surgery. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging these solicitations or a systematic misalignment between the code's clinical scope and actual buying patterns under it.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies: county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners (Collier County), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a state department of transportation (Washington State), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city human resources department (Long Beach). The geographic spread covers California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (proposals due October 9, 2026) for occupational examinations across 14 ferry locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (proposals due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record review and psychiatric examinations supporting public safety pension determinations. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, firms pursuing this code should verify classification with the issuing procurement office before bid preparation.
